    This project has had a couple of starts, stalls, and after a lot of work, it is almost finished. Hope to have it home sometime next week. It originally started as a paint job, but the more we got into it, the more that I wanted to make it like new. I don't think that there is much left on this car that hasn't been touched in some way, from the front bumper, engine, trans, suspension, interior, onto the rear bumper, everything has been either cleaned, repaired, replaced, or refurbished to like new condition.

    WOW!
    It's so pretty, it could have been an ad image for the coach/conversion company.

    How often do you have to change the body in the coffin? Or do you just clean and refurbish it. :rofl2:
