My project hits the body shop!

Well, I finally made the big decision to do carry on with a full Show Quality body and paint job on my project truck. Here is the tear down of the "Project Wrangler" as I call it as it is a special edition Canadian GMC Wrangler. I will be ditching the special factory paint scheme for a more traditional two tone but will probably use a deep metallic blue primary color with a Cadillac Escalade pearl white bottom from the marker lights down. I finished the mechanical and interior and it has been in the body shop since last Saturday. Probably going to be their for 6 weeks. When they said they were taking off every panel and glass to sand blast they were not kidding!

6 weeks is super fast for show quality. Would be more like 6 months here. Probably $8000 US too...
