Sub-frame connectors going in. Jim keeps reminding me that he's a painter and not a welder. He does pretty decent clean up work in my oppinion.

Apparently the bottom of the car has to look as good as the top of the car. :RunninDog:

For all of you asking or wondering about paint....Jim just bought the Ferrari of paint guns to shoot the car with. He picked up a sample of the paint color and will have a spray out to me shortly. It'll be just a few weeks while a few small details are taken care of.

Thanks for looking. :hello:

I don't know about the car but the sprayer looks nice :action-smiley-027:

Looks great!!! No doubt that you have to be stoked. I'm glad he's breaking in the new gun on your car... This way he will be really proficient when mine gets there..... Within a month!! And no.... That was not a typo!!! LMAO!

Let's just hope it works as nice as it looks!

Within a month aye. I hope that's true...this time. :action-smiley-027:

I am sure it will. Car looks great. Fun to see that progress.


No way! That is awesome Brent. :bigun2:

Concur. It's going to look awesome!!! Jim is nailing it and the color is going to look phenomenal!!

Yes, Dave.... Way!! Lol!! Have not updated the thread in forever but it's just about ready for Jim. Maybe I'll blow the dust off the thread and update it.

Jim has the paint booth all cleaned up. Won't be long now. :headspin:

WOO HOOO ! So Happy for You!!

looking good Curtis!!!!

Looks awesome

Thanks guys. Now all I have to worry about is scratching it! :underchair:

The 1st scratch is the deepest. Lol

Well it better be done by me or there's a chance I'll have to wash the car after I finish dealing with the poor soul that made the mistake.

:bigun2:

Rock chips are battle scars. :thumbsup:

Just checking in to say - woohooo!!!

well look what the cat dragged in.... :theresa:

:confused59: Jeepers man...where the flip have you been hiding? Missed you man.

Whew! For a minute there I thought I missed something :ohsnap:

HAHA...... Dont I know what your sayin':catfight:

Is it done yet? :captain1:

looking sweet Curtis!

Jim is completing the final sanding before paint. Looks like he's finishing up the underside of the trunk lid tonight. I think there are a few small areas and then it's clean up time before he sprays.

Thanks man! Pretty stoked..and nervous.

Looks incredible Curtis.... You are going to be extremely pleased!!! No need to be nervous!! :)

Jim is double checking all his work and getting his paint/game plan together. A few more small details and.....

I'm not nervous about the work. Just hope my color looks as good as I think it will. Hope isn't a very good plan.

Wow!
 

Holy cow ... that's some skill!!!! :king:

It's going to be awesome :dance: :dance:

Looking forward to the completed car

That silver looks like it is going to be AWESOME!!!

SEMA is two weeks away! :hello:

I have learned SO much along the way. I'm thankful that Jim is willing to take the time and explain things to me. He has a lot of talent for sure!

I agree and thanks for the back up. Can't wait to see color on it. :D

Me to!! You know how long it takes to build a car. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

It better! No one really wants to talk color with me anymore. Weird. :lol:

Right! Super stoked to see everyone....and see some cool cars. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Lookin great Buddy! I won't be able to make SEMA / LatG this year (again) but still let me know when you are heading up to Jim's! I'd love to swing over and say hi and check this mother out.

:cheers:

It's going to look Sweet!

Why am I not surprised? :EmoteClueless:

I hope to be backup that way before Christmas. I'll let you know. Maybe we can get Brent, Jody & Jim to join us for dinner and drinks.

Thanks man. I am SO ready for it to be home. Jim is a workaholic and a one man show, so I can't complain.

If SEMA was down the street from me I guarantee I'd make it. :lol:

Yes that would be great to get together... haven't seen the boys in awhile. :cheers:

Yeah...sure you would! It's ok, I believe you. Really. :action-smiley-027:

is this thing painted yet? We need to see some color or an update!!!

As long as you see progress your good!

I'm so distracted by your new picture, Curtis. Please send hi res photos. :D It was nice meeting you at SEMA and hanging out at the track, another good guy from this site. As far as the Camaro..did I miss the color decision? Still going with gray, or is it silver..or tungsten. That 50 Ford had a nice tone to it.....:underchair:

Dave I'd like to say you were missed at SEMA, I'm not going to but I'd like to. Xoxo
