awr68 10-18-2007 09:50 PM

Thanks guys, we're getting very close now!!

COYBILT 10-19-2007 12:37 AM

Looks good to me and I like what I am seeing.
Paint is always a exciting part of a car build too me because it means the car is close to being completed.

XcYZ 11-12-2007 07:45 PM

Awesome. I'm really looking forward to seeing the color going on. :cheers:

Spiffav8 11-12-2007 07:49 PM

The fit on that car is insane! Nice work :thumbsup:

907rs 11-12-2007 08:27 PM

Nice work, Chris. :thumbsup:

That's a cool little trick you're doing on the rear of the car, too!

Yeah, you can say the car is WAY nicer then I ever dreamed it would be! Thanks!! Oh and don't you worry, it's still going to get driven hard!! :unibrow:

Guys, these pics are fun, but in no way show how f-ing straight the car is! Chris metal worked the hell out of this thing for the last 3 months and got the gaps and panel fitment spot on! He is truely a craftsman and has a real passion for making things 'right'...I'm very lucky he wanted to do my car!!

I'm getting VERY excited to see the car painted...is it December yet!?! :D

Flash68 11-12-2007 10:41 PM

Going to be very nice when finished I am sure.

Got a couple things going on actually....;)

XcYZ 11-14-2007 05:31 AM

That's really cool, Tony. I'm stoked for you. :cheers:

When will the color be going on the car?

awr68 11-14-2007 06:54 AM

Yes Travis thanks for taking the time to walk me threw the processs!

Scott I have no idea...perhaps next week?

Spiffav8 11-14-2007 10:29 AM

I said "I have no idea...perhaps next week"...maybe I should have said by the end of the month...that's more realistic. ;)

awr68 11-15-2007 05:47 AM

yeah right. :lol:

awr68 11-21-2007 07:43 PM

Was I excited? You bet...but it's not worth puting Don in the dog house...and it's probably better you paint it Saturday during the day instead of pulling the all nighter tonight. Thanks for taking it back to your shop so you can continue to move forward! Have a good time tomorrow at Grandma's!! ;)

Spiffav8 11-21-2007 08:24 PM

I can have your painter friend flown in and out of Bend. He will be away from the shop for minimal time.

Just say the word and I'll have a Metroliner standing by.

Oh it would! Trust me. :unibrow:

Looks like I'm going to have to pass this time. We only get to see Laurie's parents once a year and if I bail, I'm in the dog house.

I might come up just to have a look when your finishing up Anthony's car.

waynieZ 11-23-2007 11:48 AM
