She’s ready to come home!
All the bodywork and painting are done and she’s ready to come home!
Check out the Gotham City Bomb Squad truck sitting behind her. That was formerly a USAF ambulance that was converted into a “bomb squad truck” by a company in the area and used in one of the Batman movies!

First day in the body shop
Stopped by the body shop to take a few pictures. Today, they were mostly just working on removing trim, etc.
(The trim is being removed because this is a Fury II, and I’m trying to recreate the no-frills Fury I police model. Basically, the difference — in terms of appearance, anyway — is just in the trim level.)

Dropped it off at the body shop
Dropped the car off at the body shop to start the bodywork and paint. Estimated time to completion: 2 weeks. They invited me to stop by and check on the progress, and I plan to do so and take photos.
