My car is already in Tom's River, well the shell is anyway. My car is very
rusted out and the easiest way for me to get it back on the road was to buy a
shell. Well I did and frank towed it to Tom's River a few weeks ago. He and I
and a couple others spent the weekend taking doors and fenders off and sanding
and bondoing to get it ready for primer. I left it in primer in his garage a
couple weeks ago while I went on a long scheduled Rhine RIver Cruise (really
BAD internet on a river). I got home on Sunday and emailed Frank as to where we
were. He replied he had been blocking it and filling it and everything was
ready for paint. He had been told a sealer . . ., well. I'll let Frank speak
for himself:
