Long time since my last update. Car arrived from California in February of 2021. The 273 and A904 were pulled, along with the interior and all exterior trim. Built a 360 and another A904 with overdrive. Delivered to the body shop in Cartersville, Ga. in April, and I pulled it out in August after a disagreement with the owner of the shop. Found a shop in Kennesaw, Ga that promised to finish the work in one month (The hard stuff was completed - both quarters below the body line, trunk pan, trunk extensions, and wheel housings). It's now exactly a year later, and while work has been done, I see no end in sight to finish the paint (it's in body shop purgatory), so I'm pulling it from this shop. I found someone locally (Cobb County NW of Atlanta) that came recommended. He says he can take it in the beginning of September to finish it up. At this point, it only has 2 days of bodywork left - hood and deck lid need to be wiped one more time, and there are a couple of spots on the roof that need attention. Engine compartment, door jambs, and interior portion of doors are painted, and everything else has been primed and blocked multiple times. If this painter doesn't come through, I'll be looking for someone - hopefully in North Georgia to finish it. All the restoration shops are full for at least 6 months, and the collision shops won't touch it. Any leads will be appreciated. I'm willing to trailer it to neighboring states (Alabama, Tennessee, N.C.) or another part of Georgia if necessary.

Hey Daniel! We are basically two peas in a pod, we live that close. I would like to meet you and to exchange fun - or not- facts about our cars. Right row my bird is garage bound due to a brake problem happened some time ago and I am in the middle of fixing it, hopefully. I can certainly give you my phone number so we can figure how to proceed from there. Here it is: 770-977-8065. I have my phone on 2 rings and it goes to phone mail, so leave your name and I will call you back. ok? Roberto

Welcome from the PDR of Maryland
I have a 66 too, working on it now
Just finished the front disc installation, put a new crossmember in and a new floor. I'll start on the rear fenders soon then its off for paint, so my wife can drive it. The interior is on the way. She loves it
