Inspection done, cleaning the slab, getting ready for etching and stain, then sealing it up, around the edges and where the slab meets the base and where the panels overlap,

Now for car update:

I was worried about my wheels being in the POD for 2 years there a little dingy but the look good,

now the motor looks like ****, all the aluminum has corroded not real bad, but not real good, looks like I'll be working on it with a wire brush for a while, this sucks, but probably should have sprayed it down with WD-40, post some pics later,

subframe looks great,
