Nice job. Did you do it yourself, or was it done by a bodyshop? If it was , which one and how much do they charge? I would love to have mine done someday.

O.K . So how much do you charge?! 
Seriously, though, it looks great. Can't wait to see it all back together.

Wow !
The difference in before and after is stunning. I can hardly believe I am looking at the same vehicle.
BTW: did you notice your engine was missing ? (ha,ha).
Will it be re-assembled in time for the GB trip ?

yes i will be doing the frame or atlest the parts you can see as well as the black trim at the wipers,shock towers,headlights, and any thing else that's not moving
i will also be redoing all the wire loom with new stuff. i was thinking about useing a coulor loom but i am not too sure if i want that, or what coulor to use if i did
parlic
after a second look i did notice that my engine was missing. i think a ford guy took it for this rod
i do get to pic it up on Sat. thats why i cant make it to the show for drinks at 6. it will be ready for the road in 3 weeks

One suggestiong from me is do not go for the coloured loom... I think it looks dumb.. but thats only my opinion Black is the way to go, besudes, you don't want to pull the attention away from the sweet paint job you did in there

IMHO, I think the engine bay will look better with stock wirelooms.
FYI: I tried the color coded stuff on my last f-body and it looked great when new but after the dust settled in -- after a few kms were on it -- the colored stuff ended up as yet another thing I had to keep clean. I ended up replacing it with factory black.
I am looking forward to seeing the completed article at GBM'plex.
