No dents and no rust. All doors open and close nicely and gaps are good. Less than 1 quart or body filler was use on the entire car and most of that was block sanded away.

Suspension:

All the body mounts are new as are all the suspension bushings. The Firestone 500 tires are new as are the KYB shocks.

Paint:

Entire car was stripped to bare metal and coated in PPG epoxy primer. Car was then covered with three coats of 2k primer which was block sanded and then that process was repeated three separate times until the car was straight. Once the car was straight 3 coats of Marina Blue base Blue was put on followed by 3 coats of PPG clearcoat. Car was then wet sanded with 2000 grit paper and color sanded and buffed out. Paint is excellent and car is very straight. Entire care has less than half a quart of body filler in it just to hide the welds and low spots. Entire car was painted both sides of the fenders, both sides of the hood, both sides of the trunk lid. The entire floor was painted with Eastwood rubberized rust encapsulator. There is no exposed metal on this car, it is painted everywhere so it will never rust.

This car has a clean MASS. title and it titled as an SS as it should be. Also I posted pics of the VIN tag and Cowl tag on Photobucket link I set up.

Someone asked what the car looked like before I started. It actually did not look that bad from 30 feet away. It was the same color blue when I bought it but underneath it was green which according to the Cowl tag was the original color. I liked the Marina Blue so I repainted it that color. The car had a lot of body filler on it when I sanded it down and also a lot of rust on the floors, passenger side fender so that is why I replaced them with new sheet metal. I owned the car and drove it for 2 years before I decided to restore it.
