Yes you are correct, we tape off for a cleaner seam seal in the areas that are visible...the underside will get Raptor undercoating, so you really will not see the seam seal anymore.

The body looks nice and straight. I like the dash, is the raised part that goes across going to highlighted some way?

Centerforce 07-29-2017 11:10 PM
Very cool of you guys to let the owner get in there and give it a try! We cant wait to see everything start coming together after paint is complete. Keep up the good work!

Dash
 
No, the plan is for the dash to be solid black.

Nice work, I have seen bathroom mirrors with less reflection. :D

Centerforce 12-24-2017 01:05 AM
That paint came out flawless! We can imagine the hours of prep and buffing that went into the car to have an end product like that!
We can't wait to see it 100% complete!
