Looks great Curtis!
Jim wanted me to assure you it's getting done right.

When I first looked at this picture I thought the hood was dirty. Took me a few to realize that it's the reflection of the walls.

Is that dirt on my hood or is it the reflection in the background? Oh, it's just a reflection in this awesome paint job! What a terrible problem to have.

Looks great.

I know....but he is wet sanding so it could have been something other than the reflection. Jim sends a lot of pictures! I post maybe 30% of them. I drool over 100% though and I'm sure there are a few friends that have blocked me for the number of pictures sent via text message. Speaking of pictures........here's a few more.





Kind of cool to see the work on progress.

That would be a lot of pictures! Here's a few teaser shots Jim sent. Just had to see how the tail pan would look. They aren't 100% in place sooo...keep that in mind.





I really like this picture for some unknown reason.
