    J3 Restorations & Rick Ewald have been great to work with. Nice guy and an incredibly gifted crew. As I said, I checked the shop out in person, and they have all the right equipment to do the work as close to factory as possible (numerous Celette tables, Prospot, tons of (literally) of old school metal shaping equipment). Very much wish I knew about Rich 4 or 5 years ago. They are located just outside of Nashville. Check out their Facebook page if you're curious.

    Hopefully more updates soon. Already had new fenders fitted. New front and rear bumpers on the way too. They were just too far gone to save economically.

    Found some stray rust, but believe this is the last of it. There is no more unexplored sheet metal at this point.
