For this round I am not doing the work, but when my Father and I was rebuilding the car originally we had most of the panels off the car. I have worked on the car so much that i know just about where every exterior and interior bolt goes.

The guy i was speaking with said that he was going to be clearing everything and focusing solely in on the El Camino next week.

The guy that is working on my car is named Kurt (i think). I did not catch the name of the guy that was working on the El Camino, but Kurt is not the same guy that I was speaking to about the El Camino.

nice. your making me want to repaint my car.

The only thing that suck is that I will not be able to wax the car for 30 days after it is painted.

I think I am going to be going through waxing withdraw.
