    I see dollar bills. When I restored my 77 March Formula Atlantic, all I felt were dollar bills flying out my check book.

    He's lucky I believe - it's an insurance job.

    Yes it is at Allen's and they used air tools to strip it, not chemicals. Very hard to see the damage once the paint was removed. Updated pic is of car in primer with guide coat. They are sanding it and then will re-prime and water sand to prepare for painting.

    Are they going to have to take out the glass before painting it? I'm having mine repainted as well though I did not go to the metal on mine as there was no need. But they did pull all panels and glass...

    You should just clearcoat it now and tell everybody that asks that it's a DeLorean

    Thanks gang, it is looking pretty good but I have not had a chance to really enjoy yet as it goes from shop to shop!!! Still some detail work to do and then I am ready to go driving. Yes, they did take out the glass and the front windshield broke to no suprise.
