Really liking this build! Love the color combo, wheels, engine...the whole deal!

Why is it back at the paint shop?

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

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