   Well I finally got THE BEST guy I could have for the body/paint in the 500...   He works for the Premier shop in town, and is VERY AGRESSIVE with work.   I will document it with photos as much as I can...   I have noted, and photographed the grease pen marks on car, and rear end...   The main thing now is some fabrication, the tailpanel had some rust, and I think I'm gonna transplant another.   I'm stressin' on one night of rain tough...   No windsheild...   I did throw my jacket over the VIN tag because I can't pull it up to clean under it, but 3-speaker dash is out in open...   Tommorow his shop will be free, and she'll be inside...  Well this car sat outside for 30 years, so I guess it'll be allright for one night...

So your finally getting it started huh. I was just going to PM you the other day and ask if the car was going to be up for sale soon. Had a guy call me 3 days ago looking for a Project 500 for sale.

WooHooo !!!!  Nothing like getting the process under way..... Hopefully you're time away from the car will be minimal.. Are you just having them paint it and you put her back together?...

Whatever happened to the lady that had a 500 and it was in a shop that caught on fire.  Is she still around here, that was one knowledgable chick. ;D

Yep, that's how I've been doing them.  I end up piecing them back together, and detailing up any overspray...  I'm gonna rent or buy a rotisserie for her, so she is minty...

last time she posted she was trying to get her car underway again,.. I think the word Lawsuit was mentioned,. she had alot more problems then anticipated,. especially since the shop burned down,..  to her car...
and I thought my project was difficult!  :-\

I'll have to look around on my computer, but I think I have her email address around here somewhere.

A shop can just file bankrupcy and screw her out of the damage.  It truly is a shame I wish both of you luck with your 500s

I thought she got the car back, but had to find another shop to redo all the work due to the fire damage?
