you and me both

looks like the body of your car is in way better shape than my rusty 88 iroc. I'm doing a body and motor restoration at the same time, so my project is slow going trying to fix all this rust! My baby is headed to the sand blaster on monday... wish me luck

Keep me posted on your progress
