I just talked to my race car mechanic who is working on the Studey. He has removed the body and all parts that need to come off and has rotisseried the frame and painted it with black por 15. Next step is to do the body repairs. The only thing he found that we had not noticed before is the rocker on the driver side is pretty gone so he will fabricate a part for that.

He promised pics along with the invoice. I expect that will be in the next few days.

My plan is to restore the running gear and the underside of the car and leave the exposed body looking like a barn find.

I'll do the interior pretty will and instal ac too.
