Thanks, Roy! I had convinced myself over the last 20 years while the GTO was in storage that I would find it to be nearly beyond repair once I started taking things apart and looking more closely. Fortunately, that has not proven to be the case. Each time I start poking around, I'm finding that it's solid except for the typical areas that I already knew about. Often when you start peeling back the layers, you end up with a pile of dust in the end.

While I'm sure more issues will be revealed when it comes back from media blasting, my biggest fear of it being a total basket case is diminishing, fortunately. One of the previous owners had it heavily undercoated, including drilling holes and spraying inside the body panels. While this created a huge mess that I now have to painstakingly clean up, it may have been what saved it from the death sentence that cars in Michigan are typically faced with.

What's with that warehouse full of cars?

I am a member of a collector car club called The Shop, which is where I store and work on my GTO and BMW track car. Living in a big city, many houses (mine included) don't have garages or driveways, so I have to keep my non-daily driver cars elsewhere. It's a really fun place to spend time. More info here:
