Car is back from media blasting, had American Stripping Co in Sacramento do it. They did a great job they're about a year out so if interested call now. (had to sign my 68 charger on the waitlist while there to bring next year.) Cost was 4500 bucks for blasting down to metal and epoxy primer. That was for the car, doors, hood and decklid. ALso got some brakes from Airkewld in the mail that are amazing quality. I have Wilwoods on all of my cars so excited to have them on the 356 too ( please dont lecture me on why you think this kit is not a good choice its my car not yours lol) Waiting for my new welder to come in to start doing some metal work and getting this thing closer to ready for paint.
Also built this 911 hotrod engine for a customer (930 case, 964 dual spak cylinders, elgin cams, MFI, and clewett ignition) Really liked the Clewett ignition so I ordered their fuel injection kit for my engine hoping to have it soon! ( also please dont respond in all caps why solex or webers are better, I've been tuning fuel injection engines since i was 18 I have a sniper efi on my charger and chevelle and wouldn't have it any other way) Been pretty over this site lately so not posting much since anything new or different is yelled at.

Thanks Robert!, yeah it looks like the car was rolled over in 63 because it was purchased used in 64 by my in laws and the roofs been replaced and the front and rear sections as well. Lots of cutting and welding in my future lol. Orderd all the metal and a new millermatic 215 so once the come its time to jump in.
