You are witnessing the deepest restoration of a drop bottom gon ever done by the Friends. Considering that all we did with these cars in our beginning was put a coat of paint on them, this is REAL SERIOUS work taking this car down to the steel skeleton. The skills and perseverance of Bill Pratt and his team is amazing.

And, they remember where they put all the parts they took off are, and how they go back on. :mrgreen:
