Best of luck with the new venture!

Love the car, while maybe not completely Out of the Box, it's nice to see something other than another Camaro being built. Looking forward to watching.

Thanks guys! It's been quite an adventure so far. We've been blessed by a great community who's been keeping the bays 110% full!

Update- I've been working on the gaps and have them almost ready to go. The left , front eyebrow molding is smoked so an NOS one is on its way. We've been slammed but have still managed to get the doors in feather fill and the trunk in color. We wanted to see how the products stack up and how our body work is coming along. Steve, the other owner is learning the metal aspects of the business under the guidance of our seasoned techs. I however, have been learning the ways of the paint shop. Steve finished the trunk lid, got the green light from the techs, and I squirted it. First panel for both of us respectively. It came out very straight and crisp. Color has obviously been decided- Competition Orange with all Speis Hecker products. SO far , so good!

We also cut some rust out behind the gas tank on that supporting lip. I made a new piece at home on the shear and brake. It's a perfect fit.

x2 Looks good. That orange is going to pop with the black Eliminator parts in contrast. Keep up the good work. Best of luck with the new shop, too!

Thanks guys. It's moving along fairly fast now. We bought it to keep the techs busy when we were slow....... and then didn't get slow lol.
