Project 48 a is very straight CMC classic body, it even has good door gaps. I'm surprised( best I have seen) "good bones" and mechanicals as it runs great. I towed it from NJ to my body paint guy in Pa today.  In the next two weeks it will be finished in either Porsche Seal Grey or Jaguar Vapor Grey Metallic.  I'll trailer it back home here in West Virginia then it gets baseball glove brown interior, w/ grey carpet, new 356 gauges, new top, 1/4 side curtains  etc.  Has chrome wide 5's, will replace suspension as needed and all electricals, lighting etc. . Should be completed in 12 -14 weeks.

Project 48 was stripped of all externals, windshield, doors , deck lid, bonnet and bumpers.  Pulled the seats,  carpet,  CMC gauges etc.  Dash gauge holes and most other holes on the body were glassed in and all gaps to 3/16".  Lowering the rear swing axle suspension a notch.  Next up is the floors get coated with Chip Guard, body is amazingly smooth but will get a few guide coats and blocked then apply epoxy primer and block again followed by Porsche Seal Grey,  color sanded and buff.  In a couple of weeks I'll trailer from PA back home here to WV to complete the rest restoration.
