Well I finally found a local shop that is willing to do some restoration work!

It looks like "Ant" will be heading to the body shop next week to have the core support and spare tire well welded in. Next step will be media blasting if I can find someone local who does that. I have found a highly recommended local sand blasting company if I can not find a company that uses media.

Just a note: Be sure to cover all the small vin tags or the media will remove them. Good luck with it as the return of "ANT" begins.

I'd hold out for the media. Sand gets the metal too hot and can cause warping, especially on larger panels. Plus you can never seem to get the excess sand out....lol. I personally prefer chemical stripping... but media is far better than sand... IMO Good luck and can't wait to see progress pics :-)

Thank you for the info. I will keep looking as I am in no rush...yet. Taking the car in tomorrow and pulling the FHP in the garage to start freshing up the motor. I am keeping it as a driver so no restoration, just addressing some maint issues.

Well this morning we dropped 130 off at a local shop to get the core support replaced and the trunk pan replaced. Then when leaving I got an email from one of my contacts at the NMSP. He was able to find 130's original registration still in the NMSP records. He sent me a scaned image and is mailing me the original. So all in all it was a good day for 130.







Lastly the registration for 130 showing her plate was "SP-130".
