Not sure what I enjoy more. The pics of the awesome workmanship or the messy shop. I enjoy keeping a messy shop and thought I was the only one...

Messy shop? You guys have really high standards. Was it the coffee mug that qualified it?

The comment was meant to be positive. It's refreshing to see pics of a working shop where a guy is busting his butt doing great work. Sorry if anyone took it to be negative.

Nah, probably just me. I left the smiley off the end of my sentence. I've seen some seriously sanitary shops that made me think this one was being considered messy by some. Great work coming out of that joint no matter what!!

Thanks Guys. I feel like I am posting the same photos over and over, but it's part of the process and it's fun to share the adventure.

Funny that this came up. Jim actually mentioned that the place is a mess and he needs to clean up a bit. He's out of place in a way. There is another car sitting in his shop waiting on parts. Concourse restoration kinda thing. So he's working on my car in his paint booth! Looks like a lot has been drug in there and isn't being kept in it's normal place. End result is all that matters.

That's the idea...right. It will be the same when it get's home. A little everyday and before long it's ready to go.

Starting to narrow down the final color. I am happy to say that I am no longer when it comes to the color...just the exact shade of that color. Silver, just which silver is the question. Here's a few spray outs Jim did for me. Just to start getting an idea. He says he will do some bigger and better ones before we finalize.



Jim has also started the "Black Primer" phase. This stage will show imperfections pretty quick. Based on how the light sits, it's looking pretty good to me and I really dig how the lines from the light reflection jumps the gaps. Pretty sure that's a good thing.











Thanks for looking!
