This body was originally prepped for the widebody project and done with the same care and detail.

Bump for the Saturday night crowd, with a teaser pic. Try and find a bottom this clean.

Bump for the Monday morning workers sneaking a peak at the Club. I can't believe no one has made a single comment on how 'purdy' the underbody is, or are you all jealous? lol.

Man, that is clean! Almost makes me wish that mine was rusting out on me, but unfortunately she's clean as a whistle...

Well, they get that clean when you strip all of the old undercoating off, sandblast, paint with epoxy and topcoat with truck bed liner. I even refurbushed the hard lines and dipped the brackets for the lines in Plasti-dip. It's all in the details if you want your work to last.

Well, after a year of negotiations, changes and added work, Sam, dj55b flew dow and helped me finish of some of the extra work he wanted done. Pics are in this thread.

https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/progress-my-car-pics-d-695200/

He put me to shame on the amount of work and energy he put into finishing it up so he could trailer it back to Canada, but then he's 30 years younger than this old man who has a bad back.

Deleted, for those who are interested in the quality and detail of my work can be found in his thread.

I want to thank him for all of his efforts helping with the extra work and his patience for the time it took to finish the extra work and complete the sale. I certainly hope he learned a few things working in the shop. He's a quiet, sharp young man and picks up things quite quickly.
