The body work is Better Bodies out of San Diego. They are super nice guys and make a good product. Would definitely recommend them. Their prices are good too.

As for progress, ya, I've actually made quite a bit. The motor is now out along with the trans. The entire suspension is off as well. She is just a bare metal shell right now. Getting ready to take her up to a buddy of mine for the roof swap, cage, and new dash, amongst other goodies. I'll post up some photos of how she looks right now tomorrow.

Sorry for such a delay. It's hard keeping four threads updated.

Nothing really special. Just removing the remaining wires. When I get her put on the trailer I'll snap some photos. It will be this week. Leaving Wed to drive up to his shop.

He will have her for a few months. But while she is up there I'll at least get some time to clean up the garage and organize it.

I'm actually going to be selling the body work. I'm changing it. Going to cut off the rear quarters and sell the lot. Front fenders, side skirts, and the rear flairs and bumper. Not happy about it, but it needs to get done. Going with a RSR look. Going to use carbon fiber panels.

So the car was taken to up Greensboro, NC and everything went fairly smooth. A few minor things popped up, but nothing serious. Since It has been up in NC, the roof has been cut in preparation for a carbon fiber replacement, the interior primered and cleaned of the flash rust that occured during the trip, and the main hoop and cross bar have been tac'ed up. Here are the photos..
