That's looking really good. I wish i would have had a rotisserie when I had my car blasted. It would have been a lot easier. Don't forget to check out those door hinges for wear. Now is the time to repair/replace them if needed. What are your plans for color and wheels? What's your drivetrain going to be?

The guy doing the bodywork is down in Arlington, WA (Warrens Auto Renovations). Have seen a couple of cars he has done and was very impressed. Has been taking his time and doing a great job. Will be blasting the undercarriage and getting ready for paint. New door hinges are already on as my originals were long past repairing. Had him roll the lip of wheel well while it is on rotisserie. Final color will be black as it came Tuxedo Black originally. Still thinking on rims but have narrowed it down to either Crager S/S or torque thrusts. M-21 is ready to go back in and have another 327 that needs gone through. Here is the top end:
Edelbrock RPM air gap intake
2.02 heads with 64cc chambers
Cam- lift .488/.510 duration .308/.318
What ya think?
