I am looking forward to the pictures!

Greg just called again... he will send pictures in the next day or two.  I will post them as time permits...

The final push on getting the C500 in paint is accelerating, might happen by Thankgiving!  I will soon be asking for everyone's help in making sure the C500 is ready for color.  Specifically, I want to do an "inventory" prior to base coat application of the various permanently attached brackets, clips, straps, etc. inside the trunk, passenger compartment, engine bay, and bottom side of the body.

The original body shop was supposed to carefully document all of the attachments, but...  flame  brickwall  So look carefully at the pictures that I post... AND post reference pictures if you have 'em.  Thanks!!!

Thanks Neal, I believe that the wheels will set off the B5 color well... blue/silver combo

I received more pictures this morning, and I will try to get time to post some this evening...

Four more pictures for tonight...  The only major remaining body work is to spot weld & lead the rear window plug back in.

By this weekend I will begin my "inventory" posts... permanent brackets & retainers, holes, etc.  The idea will be to find missing welded on parts or missing or extra holes... for correction prior to painting.  I am collecting & resizing pictures for those posts, and it is going to take a while.

Wow! Have you started anything on the sub assembly stuff like steering, brake, axle and such? I remember reading you were planning on "sending it out" for restoration.

Not really...  the first body shop, Brown Mound Ulteriormotive (not their real name, but it fits), bled money from me at an astounding rate... so little was left for other planned purchases.  I did buy a lot of repro items from BEA (thanks Mike!) for the C500... still have more to buy.

Since the move to Greg's shop, health issues and other personal items have kept me from sending anything out for refurbishment...  My plans have had to change, so I have talked to someone about doing the assembly on the car.  If everything works out, I will be loading up all the loose parts to take to him in the next few months...
