I cut a $2700 check to learn my lesson well.
I believe I will pay less than half that to correct the incomplete stripping (boy let's see where that goes), and I don't know that I'm ready to know how much the extra body work will cost me.
That's why I don't want any of you to repeat my error.

Chris,
This is a tub a got from Charles Coker in about 2002. I believe he also sold an RS tub at the same time. I wanted a more updated cage than the original RS tub came with, and braces to the front strut mounts are much easier to place when the door elements aren't welded in place yet.
As you know, I have managed to accumulate lots of parts for the car, and continue to look forward to seeing it in color, with assembly on my mind!

Here are some pictures--
First is the tub at the strip shop at the day I dropped it off
Next you can see the asphalt sound deadener wasn't touched.
Next the driver quarter panel with a new dent! Also note all the residual undercoating and seam sealer.
Then there's the forklift damage to the rear panel. The cutout slot is for my wing mount.

I've just picked up the car from RediStrip in Allentown. Can't say enough positive about the results--needless to say I wish I had started there. Less than half the price, would have easily paid for the diesel to tow the trailer around the country. No more undercoating, no more seam sealer! Pictures will follow after I drop the car off at the powder coaters tomorrow afternoon.
Never heard a peep from my inquiry to the shop in Wauchula. You can look at the pictures (when I get them posted in a couple of days) and judge for yourself which process you'd rather have. Just don't make my mistake and don't take your car to Wauchula!
