I'm pretty sure Wednesday and Thursday, we will be painting the rest of the car.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Looks great. I might have to stop by Thursday morning and take a look at it so far if Bryan isn't too busy.

[WMCC Gary]

Lookin Good!

thanks guys, I'm getting excited again. I have to clean out the back barn tonight and tomorrow night.
Bryan has a big 2 + car barn. That my car is going into after it gets all painted.

I'll have blankets all around my car to set all the ground effects on once everything dries. And to make sure nothing gets scratched when installing everything.

It's going to take about a week to put it all back together.

Then I need to take me car out and beat the living snot out of it.
It hates this start, stop, move 10 feet, on/off all the time!!

and I am sure that the pics do not do it justice either ..awesome...

You better call me when your ready to beat the dust out of it.

Well, Bryan wants to paint it on Wednesday.
Were going camping in Mio this weekend (fri, sat, & sun).
I also took Monday off, so I hope I can start to put it all back together next week. The clear should be hard enough by then.

It's going to be fun putting it all back together.
Then its off to the races. LOL....or to beat the snot out of that 305.
I have to change my plugs thats for sure. There all black from all the short runs. Its been started and shut off SO many times sense March/April. And its moved driven less then a mile.
I have to beat on it so it stays running lol!

[SoulTerror]

Well I'm laid off, and leaving town this weekend as well. So just give me a call.

Well tonights suppost to be the night. I know work will be going SO slow today.
I also have tomorrow off. Then were leaving later tomorrow to go camping in Mio.


So I'll try to take a lot of pictures tonight.

I busted ass last night from 5:30pm - 10:30pm cleaning the paint room.

Spraying the walls down, cleaning the exhaust fan, washing the floor down, and I even cleaned the drain gutters.

I want zero dirt/dust in my paint. LOL...so I took the extra step. I didn't have to....but atleast I took the extra step.
So I hope it all flows very well.
I'll be buying a case of Coors Light to help the cause. LOL!!
