| The following images show the steps taken during the body prep. Metal surfaces are chemically stripped and any residual is then sanded. The factory molding was removed and the holes filled, we think the body lines look much better without molding. The same process had been performed on Black Betty. When ready for paint, Gloss Black is the planned color. Think of the Smokey and the Bandit T/A without all the gold pin striping. |  The hood has been stripped of the 1st layer of paint. |
 Larry welds in the holes where the factory molding was attached. |  The doors, trunk and rear quarter panels are bare metal. |
