razor blade is correct. I thought it would be soda blasted but the body shop will use PpG system and they won't warranty a soda blasted body.

That car is in great hands for paint and body....we looked the car over good and saw how nice it was. Frank at Arone Autobody was very pleased when he inspected the car. It will be a twin to his Frost Green Z

Arone Restoration is very excited to be working on this great car and working with Dave McGaffee of Bowtie Performance &amp; Restoration. This COPO has great sheet metal and floors. Much of the original Frost Green paint can still be found as we get the car stripped. I will continue to post updates. Please find the link below on the restoration started.

I am glad that Frank is doing the project. It's a little daunting to entrust a car like this to someone but Dave and Bruce know their stuff and Arone comes highly recommended by them.

A few more pictures of the car being stripped. Aside for some minor rust and pinholes, everything looks good.
