They came out pretty good. Definitely bottoms are firm. Starting with carpet above the burlap over the springs.

Found that I had two decent arm rest pads after cleaning them. They were thrown in a box with the miscellaneous trunk items. All covered in grease.

Delivered for paint. I got a compliment from the shop owner and his main man.
I rolled it off the trailer and then unhooked my trailer to leave it there. When I got back to the shop the Dart was rolled out of the way. We went over all the little areas I had circled. Showed them where I blocked too deep etc.
Then Paul said we thought you had left and we were saying everybody says it is ready for paint. They never are per Paul and Shaun, but you are the closest since we opened the shop. I take that as a win.

Low spots are from the factory. It is begging for paint. Getting closer.

Cleaned the garage and moved cars and lifts to make room for the Dart. It goes where the lights are best and I can have a little heat in the winter. First bay is dedicated to the Dart.

TVs are so cheap and a 100 years old. My wife will hang out if I have the news on. Most of the cars are cheap as well!!

I was just thinking of putting my TVs up, it just may get them to stay in there a longer.

When I went to the shop today, Shaun is having the shop rework every panel. I brought it to them with all the metal work finished. Then they fixed all the dents etc, then I worked the car after priming (blocking it)(I got my big compliment-pretty close to paint ready/it was not), then his apprentice reworked the dart, now Shaun is going over the entire car to really get it ready for paint! He noticed things I had missed that have to be touched to be found even with blocking. It is like waiting for Christmas.
This is the last quarter to be touched before paint.
