Looking good. Can't wait to see it finished. Time for me to get moving on my Malibu.

Thanks Tony! Unfortunately the last painter didn't prep my car properly and left a few pieces unfinished. Rocker panels never got sanded and in certain areas the paint was starting to flake off. Sucked because it looked great in pictures but I wanted it done right so I took it to a more reputable shop

Yes sir, I wanted something that was easy to get in and out of and had a local shop build a cage similar to the ride tech tiger cage

It happens. Better to take care of it now. Later would be less fun.
Can't wait to see more progress pics!
