Update: I sent the body out to be blasted on Fri. Got it back today (Tues). It looks great! :thumbsup: No rust to speak of. A few small areas of mild pitting, which will be easy to fill. Gonna start the plasti work in the bed first. It's got the typical small dings in the bed floor, and a few on the sides, but not bad at all.

I've gone double or nothing on a corn dog wager that your call will be ready for Chevellabration! Not just the Chassis!

You're gonna owe someone a corn dog, Jim. Yes, it should be ready for Chevellabration, but not the year you're thinking of unless you meant CB09
I'm not rushing it. The plastic/paint work will take time. The hard part, replacing the rocker, quarter, and door skin, is finished. Actually that only took a few days. Now it's blocking time. That takes time on any car. I knocked both my Chevelles out in less than a year, but Chevelles are easier, with no bed to deal with.

To give everybody what Bill is working with and the quality of work that he is doing. This is how the car looked when I brought it home.

Mark...I'd like to be a fly on the wall when the neighbors saw you drag that heap into the neighborhood.

Good idea Jim. I should have thought of that. It would save me a week or so, blocking out the bed huh??....or maybe a bed liner.

Bill,

This product is far superior.

http://www.linex.com/

Then perhaps you can install this option....

Actually my goal is to have the bed floor as straight as the rest of the car, and just as orange. I get jokes like, now we'll have a truck to take to the shows, that can hold the lawn chairs, coolers, etc. Not gonna happen!
