Well! It has been a long time since I last posted anything. The car was taken to the body shop last week for body work and paint. Should get her back in a month or so. Then it’s reassembly time. Pics to follow

Going back w/ the same color?
Car is pretty solid. Doesn't look like a lot of metalwork involved.

Hey guys, I have been trying to find the front rear spring rubber bushings for the convertible. They say the regular bushings for a comet will not fit. Can anyone shed light on this, and maybe where I can find new ones?
