I'm at the same stage myself with my GTO. Are you painting this in the garage? If so, I sometimes think you actually get a better paint job. Because you have no air system or downforce to remove the dirty air you have to spend a lot more time sanding and buffing. More TLC. Looking forward to see it in paint.

I took it to the guy that is doing my metal work's house so he could finish faster. You don't mind working a hour at a time if all you have to do is walk out of the house.
He shot the firewall, under the car and frame in the garage. I am rolling it to the paint shop this week. I will post pics later.
