At least as far as I'm taking it. Removed beauty rings, luggage rack, front and rear bumpers and the air dam. Mirrors and wheels were already removed. Next stop.......... Later, QD.

The grill is off as well. Took it off after I took the pics and noticed the it still on.

The car with no bumpers looks like my old one from 20 years ago.

The factory blue. And I'm not worried about the dents. Those are the only spots on the car. I'll check with Gabe on it, but I don't know/care. I've stated from the beginning that this will not be a full-on restore. I'm not sinking an assload of money into the car as I don't see a need to. I just want it to be presentable. Later, QD.

Let the man get the car back together first. Wanna see what it will look like color-wise? Find his build site.

It's all good, man. I'm hoping Gabe will be able to have it done by this weekend. If not, it's cool. Don't want him to rush anything. Later, QD.
