Just thought I'd post some before pictures. She looks good from a ways off but when you get close she'll make you cringe. My body guy says she'll be as straight as she's ever been when I get her back.

Last one hopefully in a week or so I'll have some progress pictures. He said it would take him at least 14 days.

The top is a lot more faded than you can tell in the pics. The interior on the other hand looks new. The seats have been recovered and it has new carpet and head liner. I'm pretty excited to see what it looks like when I'm done.
