Have been meaning to post the restoration of our hemicuda for awhile so here goes.
Bought car as roller from one of the founders of NeHOA, he had quite an impressive collection.
Car before we started in 2006, only work done from 2006-Christmas 2008 was stripping the body down, blasting and priming, trunk floor and underseat pan. We had a lot of other things going on so the car sat until January 2009 when we started back on it, target was 2009 Carlisle................
This would not have been possible without the understanding of my wife, the help from members Pntastar69, DartVader69 and all the vendors/suppliers who worked with our schedule.

Pretty solid starting ground, seen a lot worse, though e-bodies do seem more rot prone, car had only 32,000 miles.

After blasting and etching primer, floors were pretty solid, though blasting reveals weak or perforated areas............
