2 weeks ago today, we woke up to 10" of wet, heavy snow and hundreds of limbs and branches down in the area from the overnight freezing rain and blizzard condition winds. We, also, went without electric power for 20 hours, as crews had many lines down around the entire greater metro Twin City area. I have a generator that we ran for most of that time and had no discomfort from the cold or loss of food in the fridge and we could flush the toilet and shower, since we are on a private well here.
Last week....we were in the mid 70's to mid 80's !!! Absolutely unreal and ALL the new snow and the 8" still there from the winter was gone in 5 days. SO, I got busy sanding all the previous primer down to remove texture and got the car ready for an over-all shoot. I've painted a number of individual panels in the past, but nothing this big at one time. It was quite challenging and the paint is a 40 footer, but it's all protected and one color.

Back in February, I sent both doors and the trunk lid to Restoration Specialists in Franklin, WI for chemical stripping and EDP dipping. I picked it all up last week and to say I was shocked and depressed is an understatement. I can't believe this right door looked like this under the paint. I didn't notice this on the inside while removing all the glass runs either...how the heck did I miss this ???
I knew the left door has a crease issue from seeing the tell tale fingers of bondo inside the door near the lock, but it, too, is much worse than suspected. Does a pair of straight, no rust issue, '67 doors even exist anywhere ? Pics are on my phone and no way to retrieve them, other than to send to my wife's phone and she emails them to my desktop. I don't have email activated on my phone. Right door "dent"... ![]() ![]()

Well that is unfortunate. Does it also have rust damage?

No, both doors and lid have NO rust, just a lot of damage and old grinding gouges.
