Thanks all for the compliments. The pictures were taken in Tierra Verde FL.

Uhmmm, what do you want to know? The car was striped of EVERYTHING. Anything left on the car that was not metal was melted away. The shop that dipped it was in Jacksonville FL. There were 2 reasons I did it. 1st is that the car had been painted like 5 times, not wrecked, just a picky previous owner. 2nd is that I saved alot of weight getting rid of all the unnecessary wiring, sound deadning, ect. The 92 is the lightest year and I plan on doing some things to make it even lighter. I will be cutting alot of the sheet metal out and replacing it with aluminium, starting with the spare tire well. Hope that covers your question.

You're going to have to do an isolation strip between the sheet metal and aluminum to avoid an accelerated metal corrosion, ya?

I know when I started building my '50 they made me buy sheetmetal when I asked for aluminum because putting the two together was going to accelerate the process of corrosion dramatically.

Yeah, I plan on using 3M Panel Bond. expensive but, when dry, is as strong as a weld.
