Yes: My last two were basketcases. It's a bit "Challenging" all right.

No pain no gain.

Look at it this way Alan - at least you aren't restoring a gremlin.  :rofl:

The good parts about this deal, is that you're the only guy I know who not only knows what bolts are required, but that you also have them and know pretty much every piece on these cars and where they go. The guy will be happy by the time you and your "guys" do your things, I know!  :bigthumb:

Oops...they did it again...... :thumbdown:
I can't believe what some shops will do because of their lack of knowledge of a particular car or attention to details :steamingmad:

Check out their idea of a spare tire bracket compared to an original....and the problems that could cause if found AFTER paint  :pullinghair:

Never owned a ragtop ebody, but don't the spares mount in a different location on a vert compared to a hardtop? Or was it if the car had a space saver regardless of hardtop or convertible?    :notsure:

Convertibles ONLY came with collapsible spares, and yes they mount farther rearward for clearance for the collapsed roof.

I guess it's what 32 years experience restoring E Bodies gets you...this actually hit me last night while lying in bed, my brain never seems to shut off... :looney:

I can tell it's mostly new metal, but I am having difficulty finding a paint shop that will just paint over someone else's body work. My two primary shops won't touch it without stripping it back down to bare metal, which the owner wants no part of....I'm bringing it to another shop next week to see what they have to say...
