From Repair Shop to Interior Shop

We picked up the car from the repair shop.  A friend of ours met us at the shop and we placed it on a car trailer.  There is still allot of gravel on the roads, I didn't want to take any chances. 

The shop replaced all of the rusty screws and bolts, along with doing all of the other repairs.  It sure made a difference in the look.   They were telling me about all of the issues they ran into with the rusty pieces.   The bolts on the rear bumper snapped, as they started to remove one of them and it fell on the ground.   Seems a bit dangerous and I'm glad it's fixed now. 

They replaced the weatherstripping and the webbing between the fenders.  It was something I asked if they could do because you could tell it was really brittle. 

Since the car was in fiberglass colors, we tried to match them as close as possible.   It is now painted with Ford Blue and Chrysler Tan.   I have the color codes, in case it would need a a touch up. 

It looks really great and I can't wait to see what it is going to look like with new interior and new shiny bits.
