    Finally had a chance to load up the 73 and take it to the body shop.
    Hopefully it'll be back in 2 weeks.....

    I think they are the same as "Dog Years." So that means you might get it back in 3 1/2 months, Even that sounds too soon.

    Yep, I like the color.

    There isn't much body work to be done, a few dents in the passenger side, a small patch a the bottom of the passenger side quarter panel, and thats it. The hood and fenders are already pre-painted and waiting to be fit, the engine compartment is painted, the floors and inner fenders are also done.
    The stripe kit is on it's way, engine and tranny done, new brake and fuel lines, new gas tank, new carpet, all new weather stripping, so I'm praying that it all works out. It'll be like Overhaulin when it gets back.
