I'm ready!!
everything is good the new owner for the 69 just got here and he wants it done asap.

Ron, that baby is looking soooo sweet! I'm your #1 fan bro. Although you've heard it like 2 million times already…that color is killing something. I'm waiting on pics to showcase the paint after it gets cut and buffed.

Oh baby! That is coming along nicely! You deserve the perfect paint job with the patience of Mother Theresa you've had :lol:

That was fast Frank! At least you get to see it through. Post an update in your thread?

Thx Marcus. You, Fernando and so many others have turned into such great internet friends! We gotta move that into the real world. Better pics coming! Oh, and post an update in your thread?

There he is! What's up Killer? You've been so quiet lately I thought you were on vaca cruizen in your Escalade up to the Keys! ('Sippin on Gin and Juice' Haha)....I'll take any color at this point, as I'm just gonna 3m it bef it hits the streets. I have waited, not as long as others here, but I have not been patient - the shop's prob sick of hearing from me. I'm on the Greg Weld Shop Management program...:lol:

Oh, and post an update in your thread?

I wasn't gonna, but you guys have seen the rendering so here's one more...

OHHH ME likey!! Me Likey long time!! :unibrow:

Looks like this may have a "happy ending".........:D

Who Eric, the car or Maxie...? :rofl:

I'm not gettin' involved.........lol!

Your car is looking GREAT! I have seen that color in person on my very good friend Tonys car. It is a really classy looking paint. And looks fantastic on a first gen when applied correctly.

What a tease!:unibrow: :D
Can't wait to see her all assembled in paint.:thumbsup:

Looking great Ron, Love the red pin stripe detail. :thumbsup:

Yeah that is a nice subtle touch you don't see alot on our cars. :thumbsup:

Me too Tones!

Where you been Gae?

Thanks Guys! Most two tone paint jobs have a color in between to break the lines, so I put it in. It's just sublte enough to pick up the red calipers. I might do a red stitch in the interior to carry the theme if I can sell it to my interior designer...;)

Congratulations on getting some color on that slow poke. :D

^ Thx Todd. I know I can always count on you for a little push.

I think I'm coming to town on Thurs. Wanna do a blast across the lake on Fri or Sat? Bring your life vest...:D

I may be out there anyway. Today is Thursday..:P Call me.........

I shoulda been clearer, it's next weekend. Call you in the morning...

Been working outside in 100 degree heat. Just finished the job today. Fricken heat was kicking my ass but I believe I am now aclamated, LOL.

Looks great Ron!

Keep up that management style!
:D

I was wondering why the radio silence. I don't think I'd last a day out there...:unibrow:

It's the school of 32 sqeaks, err I mean tweaks. You're a good role model, Sir...:lol:

Looks good Ron, keep em' coming. I like the red.

VERY exciting Ron - congrats! Looking forward to having her back home I'm sure.

G.

Looking good Ron!

Thanks Lenie! New pics came this AM...

Hey Gregg - thanks for the comment and I really hope your Gbar set up gets worked out w minimal headaches! Also, very grateful for the big chunck of time you spent coaching me on the LS7 'Tax'. I'll be in touch very soon on your special dry sump tank design! See you @ B Jackson tomorrow w any luck...:thumbsup:

Thank you Sir. Get ready...back to Cali in three weeks....:yes:...I'm gonna take vacation time and plant myself in your shop. Maybe you'll let me sweep the floors while I pick your brain? :D

So my painter sent me a couple of pics today, now that the mad rush to color is over. I debated not posting more of the same, but I think we're mostly picture ho's (at least I am) so here goes:

And that's a wrap for this week. Sanding has begun and three stage finish buff/polish is scheduled for Monday. The plan is reassemble and get it on Roger's show hauler for the return trip from Colombus. Props to Roger for making sure I do not have a repeat of how this journey began well over a year ago. I will post outside/assembled pics when I get them.

Many thanks to all for the positive comments and PMs. To me, it's the journey not the destination when doing a project and sharing w you guys makes it all the more fun...:thumbsup:

Big ups for the zen thinking Ron. Let another 4yrs go by (I know you won't) and let's see how that holds out lol. Personally I'm at "screw the journey, I'm over it - someone get me to my destination already!"

Cheers buddy! See you tomorrow at BJ. Dragging D!ck and Matt along with me.

:drool:

I am in love with the colors!

Man that looks sick Ron. Love it as well :thumbsup:

Keep it comin Ron... I like the CF contrast so far. You've actually found some things to do that are unique on a 1st gen Camaro. :lol:

Did Matt build the rendering stand for you? :unibrow:

Looking awesome Ron, keep the pics coming :thumbsup:

Rich

Yeah, @ four years I'd be like "Enough already!". :lol: I'll dial you and Matt when I get there later today...:cheers:

Thx Ty...it's funny, even w the render you never know what it'll turn out like when mixing colors until it's done. And I'm kinda sick, I always second guess my decisions. :cheers:

Thx Ry! :cheers:

Haha Dave-o! No need to be unique, just fast and fun (hopefully)...:lol:...Matt is my interior designer, BTW :cheers:

Thx Rich! As always, appreciate the props and advice...:cheers:

That looks just awesome Ron!
Congrats on getting to this point. Now on to the next chapter. Good luck with the rest of it. Keep those pics coming.:thumbsup:

: Ron,Look's frickin awesome.love the red pin stripe.:thumbsup:

Thx Eric! On to the next chapter...:yes:

Well said Scott. Appreciate the comment! :thumbsup:

Very nice Ron. Looks really nice. Those are great colors as well.
Keep us posted.:thumbsup:

It looks great Ron.

I like it! It's a really clean and simple look that says so much. Can't wait to see it all put together!

Thanks for posting the pictures!!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks fellas...:thumbsup:...can't wait to see yours as well Wayne!

Appreciate the comments Curtis! As Dave pointed out, it's really not too unique - exposed CF/red stripe/dark color - and I'm ok w that. I'm aiming more toward the car being built right. A little show is good, but only to match the street car event functional theme (with r888s :lol: )

Looking DAMM good their Ron! Looking forward to seeing it in person soon..
