I won't be wronged, I wont be Insulted and I wont be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to others, and I require the same from them.

I like the way the bottom of the 1/4's in lower front run into rockers by a couple inches like factory. Those other cheap aftermarket run straight down missing those couple of inches. LEON.

There was a fair amount of rust in the rocker area.  He had to patch a couple of small sections.  Not a very well designed area, but hey it is still in there so can't complain.

Here are some more progress pics.  I am going to go out again this afternoon for more pics and the unibody should all be in paint.  He should have all of the fenders, hood, doors and trunk lid finishd next week.  I am getting close to getting it home.  However, the cost is over double his original estimate.  I am not happy about that, but not much I can do now.  There was a lot of work to do, but this guy is slowwwwwww and bills by the hour.

Things are looking good. Nice to hear the AMD quarters weren't much trouble. Looking forward to more progress.  :2thumbs:  Ted

In that one picture, is that your body guy?  I went to school with an Allen Stouffer, graduated w/ him, doesn't look like him?

Nice work, bet you're getting amped.  If there's one thing I've learned with paint & body guys', always double their initial estimate.

I went and picked up my baby last Wednesday.  Here are a few shots of it at its new home.   :icon_smile_big: :drool5:  The car looks great.  I know I have complained a lot about the price, but the results are very difficult to argue with.  I started putting some stuff together and will post pics of this as I move forward.

Spent all day on Saturday working on the car and I think the results turned out excellent.  Thanks to all of the advice from this site and moparts for making this such an easy yet stressful install.  I think the moparts howto is the best along with the mopar mucsle article on the vinyl top.  Also thanks to everyone for the stripe install info.
