    Thanks !

    It's taken about 18 months to get to this point. But it's almost a new car.

    Just wish I didn't have to sell it afterwards..... :(

    That is AWESOME you have taken so many pictures of the wagons progress. When its done, it will be better than new due to the amount of love and attention put in to her.

    BTW: I love your '77 Country Squire. I really really like that blue.

    the '77 Country Squire isn't mine. It's a shop called Mobsteel (www.mobsteel.com). They did the media blasting of the original body

    I'm shocked a dealership would get anywhere near work like this.

    Does look good. The second link did not work for me. Do you have more updated pictures?

    They are using it as a fill in job as well as an training exercise. They want to exapand into restoration as a sideline.

    Don, sorry I can't look at Facebook to see your pics. I won't go to sites like them. I like my privacy too much. Once they have my ISP number, I lose it. Our Feds don't have the stones to do anything about them, so I won't.

    By the sounds of it, from what the guys are saying, you've done some good stuff to it, so congrats!

    I'll bet that woodgrain will stand up to the elements since it was designed for use in boats - good looking pattern too.
