It's a pretty slick looking car even with 29 year old paint. 
I am taking it to the shop tomorrow to have the control arms done, it will be the first time I really take it out. Wish me luck!    |
Trey,
What happened to this thought? I'm not coming down on you, just speaking from experience...
Unless you have the cash/time/money/money to do a paint job, it's usually best to wait until you can afford it. The guys who posted about trying to keep the paint know this also. I have made this mistake MANY times- I took body & fender in college (I was gonna open a resto shop), so I half-azzed know what I'm doing, and I still wish I had left some cars in OEM paint until I was TRUELY ready to paint.
I hope this is not the case w/ you. I hope you are gonna hit it- hot and heavy- and have your T/A ready for paint. I'd hate to see you get discouraged on your project.
Again- not coming down on you, just passing on some hard earned lessons.
Good luck- hope to see more updates!
