I think it is cool that the owner is going to keep the flat hood.  Do not see that much anymore!   :D
Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!

How long will the paint and body take to do on a car like that?

mine will stay flat too. might be kind of hilarious to do a slant 6 shaker though, lol (the shaker setup would almost double it's worth!).
Growing older is mandatory...growing up is optional.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

That looks like a really solid car too.  Just a small are on the floor board, but the rest looks fantastic.   :banana:

Doing it the same way for 30 years, why change now ? It's all about keeping costs down.

So are you slowly paving your entire back yard with all that tar you have removed over the years?
Gotta put it somewhere???

Hope the blasting comes out well with few additional surprises.
Life is to be viewed thru the windshield. Not rear view mirror.
You are the only one in charge of your destiny.

Nicely done buddy.  Looking forward to seeing what she looks like after the blasters.   :fingerscrossed:  So far she's looking pretty good.

Well, it's not the worst car that I've done. :thinking:
