    Made some progress on my front brakes. I was having a lot of issues with fitment but I discovered it was because parts store sold me wrong rotors.

    I worked on my body lines, door, hood and fender were off. Took the door striker off and moved it around and rebuilt the door hinges.

    Thanks. After I got a couple quotes for paint and body I decided to do it myself and learn as I go. I've been quoted 2200, 3200, 5000 and 8000 so far. The 2200 was going to take a 6-8 weeks maybe more.
