    I know it's going to take me a week to put it back together. And clean everything. The cars a mess!
    Sounds like it should be done JUST in time.

        • Well it didn't get painted like I hoped it would. So yeah hopes get high...hopes fall flat on its face!

          When they were doing the final wetsand, they found a small hairline crack where they welded the door handles shut. So the thin coat of bondo must have had a air bubble it it.

          So they had to dig it all back out and redo it. We could have filled the crack, maybe it would have been nothing to worry about. But i was not taking any chances.

          Now I guess they misplaced my front hood vents. They have to be in the barn somewhere, but I'll see if I can find them when I get there.
          So I'll keep everyone whos watching this thread updated.

              LOL, naw. My 305 doesn't drip or burn any oil. So, I'm not out anything.
              I have a 350 waiting bored .040 over. But no $$$ to build it the way I want.
              Why would I want to go fast anyway, I will go slow so people can enjoy my paint job lol!

                    Its a tri coat. Metallic Silver base coat, then the candy apple red, then the clear.

                    I have to admit, it looks very sexy! And thats just the jams!
                    I can't even think of how the whole car will look!

                        Took some in some different light so people can see how it flip flops.
                        I can't wait to see it in the sun!!
