Visited the GTO, they did cut out around the key hole of the trunk an patched it, They are going to do the same on the doors and rockers. You can see the original color of the car on the doors lol, also the different fillers than have been used on the car over the years.

I just read your bondo! um I mean thread. damn that bondo is crazy but looks like it is in good hands and will be the **** when its done. you are doing a good job with all the progress cant wait to see when its painted. I am scared to take my car down to bare metal i see lots $$$ signs in my body work.

[Code Red]

Stop by today, they are really getting into it now, they pulled the front and rear glass, and pulled the drivers door off. They are about to pull the passenger door as well. I am very impressed how the bumper has turned out along with the fitment in the front. My dad mentioned to me after we left the last time they went down there to check on the car the shop mentioned something about using the car as a display vehicle for a nationals show in Norwalk Ohio. Might have to get some more info on this.

Glad they were able to work the front bumper. Its worth the extra money to get all of that right.

So is this the original hood now? I noticed you had a black on it earlier.

Unfortunately no, you can see the original off to the side. The original has rust issues and is buckled and would of required extensive work. The new one didn't require much at all
