Re: Update pictures of my JL8 under restoration
Looks great! Bare metal on every square inch of that thing? Ugh, the passenger side 1/4 on my old Lemans is brazed on the same way. I hope I can save it!

Re: Update pictures of my JL8 under restoration
Yup, RediStrip dipped the body and then baked it to remove everything. Then they hit it with the wire wheels. There's a pair of NOS quarters going on it the right way. From this point on we should pick up some speed with it going back together. It's been over 3 years since I got the car from Charley and I started taking it apart right away. Time and $$$ have been the real factors so far. I wanted to collect the hard to find parts($$$) and that caused delays. Then work on the house caused delays for the car. But it will be worth it when it's done.

Re: Update pictures of my JL8 under restoration
Its not uncomon to see qtrs put on like that. Very few body shops took the time to pull the glass and dig out the lead, and do it right. Time is money on flat rate in a body shop, and back when it got hurt it was, just a car. Schonye
