Very nice!

After more delays than either Bodyguy or myself would care to mention...<span style="font-weight: bold">we <span style="font-style: italic">FINALLY</span> have paint!!!</span>

Bodyguy got the car shot earlier this week. He was finishing up the wetsanding when we arrived today, going over the pass. quarter and deck filler panel with 1500 paper.







Bodyguy gave the quarter a <span style="font-style: italic">super-quick</span> quick buff so I could get an idea of what the finished product is going to look like.





&quot;Glass&quot; comes to mind [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Just for $hits &amp; giggles:



I can not begin to tell you what an <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">IMMENSE</span></span></span> relief it was to see the car finally in paint. There's still some work to be done on the decklid and the tail light extensions, the rear cove still needs blacked out, and the dash and the tops of the doors/inner quarter window ledges still need to be painted, but this was a <span style="font-weight: bold">MASSIVE</span> jump towards completion.

Bodyguy says the buffing should be done by next weekend, then he'll wrap up the rest of the paint details.

For those who've been following this build, you've probably noticed that things are quite a bit behind the original schedule. Up until the beginning of this year things were moving along right according to schedule. Unfortunately, the severe weather that we experienced this winter/spring called Bodyguy #2 off for his regular full-time job on a heavy-duty <span style="font-style: italic">overtime</span> basis, which left Bodyguy #1 flying solo quite a bit.

Due to this and several other circumstances that were/are beyond his control, things will probably continue to fall a bit further behind schedule from here on out. I'm still hoping to get the car finished and back together before the season is out, but I'm not holding my breath at this point.

Hopefully I'll have another update next weekend. In the meantime, I'm going to kick back a little bit and relax and enjoy a frosty cold can of Foster's. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

More later.
