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.)

Ordered windshield
Talked to Roscoe Glass and ordered replacement windshield. I will get the gasket myself from Steele Rubber Products. Glass should arrive in about 2 weeks, which works out just about right.
