    I will have more pics soon. No one wants this thing done more than me. Tomorrow: fix dent in fender, blast the insides and have them in etching primer by the end of the day.:TU:

    Held up again. Wainting on the welding touchs I need on the fenders. I'm not going to let any old one weld my stuff. I will wait until it can be done once and correctly.

    I'm going to check out a great deal on a lincoln.:birthday:

    Update is no update. :(

    I need to take a class on body work!!!

    I have been trying to vet a mobile media blaster but no luck yet. I'm going to keep trying.

    I can't believe how time flies.:Dou:

    My body has been wrapped up on a rotisserie for a freaking year!!!!:af:

    I finally have a soda blaster booked for dec 11th. Hip hip hooray!!!

    Now I have to figure out how to have someone pick up a one piece trunk from Tamraz in illinois and bring it to jersey somewhere.:Brow:

    Maybe I'll go do a thread in the cho cho shop.

    So that's it for now. Thanks.:TU:

    Cool! I've been waiting for one of these too..... Performance Years (Pontiac) also has them listed on their site. They're near me in Hatfield, Pa. I bet you could get here in about an hour? Just follow Rt 202 into Pa until it hits Rt 309.
    Google Hatfield, Pa and check it out:TU:

    What's up with that? Artie had a local guy also give me the same price. 455 is far from 600. I bet I can ship the 455 for about 145 or so.

    Why do these guys do this?

    Chris are you saying you can grab it and bring it someplace east? I would pay for it when you pick it up. Then I'd come meet you somewhere?

    This would be great.

    Please let me know if this is a possibility. Thanks Joe.

    $599 is the list price from the manufacturer, Goodmark. It's still a new item, so don't expect a discount at this time. Once they start to move, competition may drive the price down.....
    Tamraz shows a $509.95 price on eBay.....wonder if the $455 price is still good?? Freight to NJ will run $135 to a business address.
    Make sure you buy a BOP piece and NOT a Chevelle floor!! Chevelles have a shorter trunk.

    Have a great 'blast day' on the 11th!:TU:

    Joe, my instant e-mail hasn't been working so I missed your post:Dou: Yes, if the deal with Kerry S moves forward I should be able to help you out. Chris

    Cool i'll keep you updated to my situation. I'll be needing the sheet metal for this car some time soon. The blaster is half way done. So i'll know in a little while exactly what I need. As of now, I need a 1 piece trunk pan and the rear panel between the rear window and top of the trunk opening.

    Thanks Chris. :TU:

    I'd like to see it myself!! They have it wrapped up. I'll post some pictures of this operation later then you can see how I can't even see it.
