This is a shell that has been at the shop for a while – patiently waiting restoration.\u00a0 We have found our customers to be extremely flexible on schedules with their shell restorations as the business matures, and we appreciate that!\u00a0 It’s not just a sales pitch – we are booked well into the future constantly, so if shell restoration is in your future, don’t wait – call and reserve your spot in the lineup ASAP!<\/p>\n

The shell is one of the more solid shells we have done.\u00a0 It will need the usual floors, sills, boot floor, etc., but the upper panels are all in excellent condition.\u00a0 Usually, we find ourselves replacing shut face panels, patching or replacing the entire tunnel, etc.\u00a0 On this one, it SHOULD be a straightforward process of mating new panels up against perfect original panels – we’ll know after she gets out of the blasting booth (which is where she is at the time of this writing – about half done.)<\/p>\n

This blog will show shots of the shell as received, and also of the shell being dissected for blasting.<\/p>\n
