I have decided to have someone else do the paint and body work. It was suggested by some of my fellow club members to try Gongora's Paint and Body shop here in Pomona. David Gongora made a decent quote and so I have bead-blasted the fenders to get him started. So far so good. I'll do the body, hood and doors in a few weeks when I know where I stand with the rest of my restoration.
In working on the engine block I busted 7 studs in the top of the block. Even with heating them up. I purchased a 'head stud drill out kit' from Snyders and it worked like a charm. I may need to helicoil only ONE stud hole. Pretty lucky! I'll upload some engine photos tomorrow to show why I'm redoing the block / valve seats. Pretty sad shape.
