Yes, the body shell is as described. I had it media blasted before the metal work was done. Under the car (floors, tunnel, etc.), it is still in original GM factory primer. The rear quarter work is exceptional (done by a close friend...you should be able to soon see his craftsmanship in Street Rodder magazine...he chopped and sectioned a '32 Ford 5-window for a local rodder -- all metal finished). When the Nova was in bare metal, Al (the metal man) set all of the gaps like a street rod, which meant additional welding, grinding, filing, fiddling. Then we blew it apart for epoxy primer. The fenders, inners, deck lid and doors were primed off the car. I wanted to be sure that everything was covered, inside and out.

Honestly, for stripping, epoxy primer work, a good dry So Cal quarter the costs are probably around $5000, and that doesn't include Al's hours of labor.

Anyway, thanks guys for the headsup. Anyone else? I'm <span style="text-decoration: underline">definitely</span> thinking of turning it loose.
