If there is anything good it's the front sheetmetal alignment (not sure about the hood), and the bodywork in general looks good...the car is actually real straight...other than the PS door that still is wavy! The trunk is going to be a bitch to fix, but I think other than lots of money and more time to invest the new paint job will go well.

Right now I'm talking with a few shops trying to weigh out my options and I will go from there! Don't really have a choice....just have to move on! The crappy thing is that it's been 6.5 years now on this project and I was so looking forward to final assembly!

I want to thank all L-g members for being such good friends of mine and I will keep you all up to date with the progress! I guess that turned into the looooong version....sorry!!

Shoot me a call...

Good shops are HARD to find.. I guess that's why I drive 80 miles each way to BOS for all my paint stuff and stories.
