well everyone a long overdue update. i feel like we are making pretty good progress but one of our biggest hold ups is just waiting- waiting on parts to arrive, waiting on the sandblaster.

so with the GTO finished in May, we started on the frame. got the frame sandblasted in mid-June, and spent all summer doing bodywork and paint on all everything you will never see. we are back at the stage of having a rolling chassis, but i forgot to snap a pic with the wheels back on.

Mid August we had a dustless blasting company come out and blast the body shell. Overall not terrible, I've certainly fixed worse. starting on the body work in between trying to finish up any outdoor projects before winter hits.

engine is also at the machine shop. hopefully I dont end up in machine shop jail. its just so hard to find someone around us. right now its been there 1 month and I havent heard anything.

here are a couple pics of the process
