yes sir gotta love native Arizona vehicles.

Really clean chassis and starting point. Did you go with the same white/white combo for paint? Looking forward to her release from prison.

Far, far better coverage than what the factory ever did. At best, they originally had primer with body color misted on the floors and rocker boxes, then heavy sound deadening schutz was applied to the wheel houses and rocker boxes.

Great job!

Looks great

Paint is popping! That undercarriage is crisp. Excited to see the rockers and other areas after repair.
