What he said!!!!! Can't wait to see the car Mario, I might have to catch a flight to Columbus this year..just needed a reason and now I have one. Thanks

So it's stuck in paint jail is what your saying. Good thing your body guy is on a flat rate.

Smart move Brother. Sounds like I'm going to Columbus this year.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Well, he was the more popular one.

:P

Looking forward to seeing some updates Mario!

I figured you would have had it all painted by now.....Come on I hear it only takes like a week or so to prep....bodywork....prime....sand.....prime.....sa nd.....paint.....sand....buff..... a car anyways! Whats the hold up! :lmao:

WTF! I watched TV last night and GasBagMonkey Garage was having a "show quality" paint job done and they had 24 hours to get it all done.

They quoted the "materials" as costing $3,000 -- so I figure the entire job - with 24 hours (at $100 per hour per person) of labor was worth $5,400. Put 2 guys on it and the cost is a whopping $7,800.... put three guys on it and we're up to $10,200


LOL



I still think about the guy at a car show that walked up to the Nomad and said "gaalllllleee (golly) - you must have 10 or 15 THOUSAND dollars in this!"... I said - "nah - I did most of it myself". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

But I think it's a good name for you

They will be coming Wayne. As I said you can only put up so many body prep pics!

Exactly Todd its insane I should be slowing down but its not happening .

Lenie that would be awesome.

Ya the guys doing the work, work real cheap to!

Don't BS ME!

You would be correct Skip!Only you!

Come on you know how easy it is ! You guys pop 2-3 of these cars out a week no problem :lol: I watch OVERHAULIN!!!! You and your dad ain't foolin no one!:lol:

I love it when I see what they spend on materials !:lostmarbles: I almost got that in POLYESTER primer! They must be getting a bunch of FREE stuff:_paranoid :D


Mike will deal with you later!:warning:

Just landed a state side gig bro. Finally home.

Hey buddy, Had the best year of my career and I'm on a 3 week sabbatical. You can, you just have to do it!

Car looks fantastic, by the way.

Todd I hear ya it's coming to that very soon ! It's getting old!

Mario, that's a great decision! You still get to 'paint it' not to mention you have sanded your finger prints off and that has to count for something!

Just because you do it everyday doesn't mean you can't ask for help on such a big project...good on you and your decision!


Can't wait to see progress pics! And enjoy your Sundays for a little while!

Thanx Tony ! It was hard choice but I do know its the right one.

Well we made it to BBT yesterday! Paint goes on in about three weeks . Got my spray guns ready to rock can't wait!!!

Awesome!

:bigun2:

Can not wait to see some color on the car Mario,all the hard work is going to pay off real soon.

Progress is always exciting! Sweet ride Mario.

Looking great mario

Way to go Mario!! Now quit being a tease...

That's sick! Looks smooth as glass.

:Tomcat:

Congrats, Mario! I know you've worked hard just to get to this point. The car looks as sharp as a razor

All of our hours sanding really paid off.

Mike

I want more pics and I want them now.:bitchslap:

It really did Mike.

Mario that's SAWEEET! ! It looks amazing like it is.. Good for you. Now rest up that painting hand...... I can't wait to see more.

Thanx guys !! We still have a long way to go . When we dropped the car off a few weeks ago I thought we would have had paint on it by now . But Troy wasn't quite happy and wanted to change a couple of details and give it one more round of polyester. So the boys at BBT went around the whole car again!!!! Troy sent me this picture and told me I'm not going to believe how straight this body is. Can't wait to get the color on !

Heck yea Mario, you must be excited now! This is going to be a standout car. I really like everything about it.

Progress is rolling at BBT. Troy just sent me another quick update! Cowl and cage are painted.:excited:

looking great Mario,must see this one at Columbus:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Oh Yeah! Start the Happy Dance!! :bump:

We're moving now!!! Looks good.

Update. Car is ready to go to upholstery next week. It's coming along. Sorry for no updates , this project has taken a unforeseen turn and my enthusiasm is out the window for this project:mad: As it looks right now the car will be up for sale the as soon as it's done. I'm already out looking for a new project to start stay tune.!:popcorn2:

Very sorry to hear that Mario.

It seems you've taken the next step in the classic 'love/hate' relationship.
