Feel free to call me. I'm here for you Bro! lol

Pretty much.

I've got short list and I'm thinking that rather than spay outs, I'll have a fender painted with the different colors on it. Then I can sit and stair at it out the back window or something.

Received a few update pictures today. Always a good day when they arrive.

Looking good Curtis,progress is a great thing:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Very cool. Gaps are looking good!

Great looking build !!

Getting excited for you seeing it getting this close. Looking great.

where is your guys body shop located?

Thanks guys. I can't wait to see the car again. I am very pleased with the work that has been done.

In his back yard. lol He's up in the same area as Jody, so just South of Sacramento.

Hi Curtis.
 

Hi Curtis, I had a look at the early pages of your build thread last night. Gee you've got some nice gear either in the car presently or waiting to go in when she gets home. Starting to get excited mate? ☺ won't be too much longer now, Looking REAL Nice too!!!! Cheers.

Trevor I am excited! I have shelves full of parts just waiting for the car to come home. It's going to suck up all my free time for sure!

I am so excited to see color on this bad boy

Me Too! :_paranoid

Dude, I have gap envy once again. Congrads on all the progress. Looking forward to seeing you being able to spend time behind the wheel--after everything you've endured, you are due.

DF

Happy for you!!

Yo DFRESH! Thanks man. Hopefully it won't take long to get it on the road once the paint and body is done and the good times will roll!

Best not to get int he way of a creative genius.

Nice to see updates Curtis! Silver will be a nice choice if that's what your settled on. Me personally like the Mercedes color the best out of the two. He has done a nice job on the car. You will be proud once it has color!

Thanks bud. Silver is the choice, but it's going to take spray outs for me to pick the exact silver. The Mercedes silver is currently in a tie for first. Lexus has a nice one to and it shares the number one choice at the moment. Ask me next week and the car could very well be blue ....or red. :lol:

Prime...Block...Prime...Block again...

Looking really good getting close bud!

WOW!!! Looks great I can only image the feeling you get when you get those pictures sent to you!! Can not wait to see the color

Hi Curtis
 

Hi Mate.😊 I hope you got your finger out and got your spray outs organised Curtis, you don't want to be holding old mate up, and we are all keen to see colour on her. Looking Good!!!! Cheers Trevor.

OHHH Fvck!!!!!:flashie: :G-Dub: :G-Dub: :G-Dub: :G-Dub: :G-Dub: :G-Dub: :G-Dub: :G-Dub:

SWEEEEEEEEEEET !! it looks good Curtis.

Looking mighty nice!!!

Tell Jim not to go too fast on it! LOL

Still have to get the new shop built to finish it and from the sounds of it, I am going to be building either a 416 or 427 stroker engine for you and you selling off the fresh built L76 I just did for you!!

Looking good Curtis!

Still a lot to do, but yeah...it's getting closer.

Panic! :peepwall:

My trip to the dealerships has yet to reveal the right color. I was digging Mercedes Alubeam, but apparently it's one of the top 8 most expensive colors to paint. Yeah...that not happening. Hope that the spray outs aren't to far off. I did spot something that really made me take notice though, just need to dial it in.

Make it Rain! Wait or is that Bring the Rain?

Thanks Brother.

That carries a lot of weight coming from you! Thanks Brother.

They say go big or go home, so...427? As Mario would say :G-Dub: YES the shop needs to get done. Come on already break ground on that sucker! Also please install a beer machine.

Thanks bud. Every time I get pictures I am jaw dropped. It's weird and in a way it doesn't seem like it's my car. I'll probably just sit and stare at it for a few days when it's finally home.

I don't think so Curtis !!!!
 

Mate !!! " I'll probably just sit and stare at it for a a few day's when it finally comes home" I think you wrote. Sorry did you mistake me for a patient person. lol I want to see that girl going Curtis !!! lol :gitrdun:

Awesome. Can't wait to see the color!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I've always felt Aston Martin offered very good color palletes, have you grazed their offerings?

Killer project, it was good to see you up in the Northwest-Chris

Me too! I'll keep everyone updated, no worries.


I might lose my mind between now and then and honestly look forward to it being painted just so I don't stress about picking the right color anymore.

That's one I have over looked oddly enough. :sieg: I cruised the web-site and spotted a few that I liked. Time for a trip to the dealership to see what they have on hand.

Thanks Chris. That was a great trip and I am looking forward to the next one. Laurie and I are talking GoodGuys, but I'd like it to be sooner. Greatly appreciate the shop tour. I picked up a few little tips and tricks kind of things from what you guys are doing.

:cheers:

After the last batch of pictures I didn't expect to receive any more for at least a week. I received the first batch around lunch time and the second just a few minutes ago.

The Marquez tail lights I ordered finally arrived. :ups: Looks like a little work needs to be done to make them fit right, but it sounds like it isn't a big deal.

Good timing on the arrival of the tail lights. Gives Jim something to work on while the primer dries.

:omg:

Primer really makes the work Pop!

Hi Curtis.
 

Beautiful sharp straight body lines Curtis, that's quality right there. :thumbsup:

Wow ... she's turning out great, attention to detail is over the top!!!! :king:

Lookin good

Man that looks awesome, I have the Marquez tailights also they are one of my favorite pieces they really make the the back of the car pop. Are you painting the tail panel black or whatever body color you chose this week :lmao: ?

I thought it was looking good in the previous set, but the gray primer really makes things stand out. Apparently the next stage is a black primer that helps fine tune things. I'm learning...slowly. :sieg:

Yeah...Marquez does make nice stuff without a doubt. Just can't be beat.

The tail pan will be black. :lol: That's the one part of the car that hasn't changed color.

I'm shocked you even got Marquez to answer the phone ! And even more shocked you got them that quick!! No matter what they do make awesome parts ,if you can get them!:lol:
