Well no color this week. Went up to the shop today hoping they would painting. Unfortunately they weren't but at least they had 4 guys from the body shop doing the final prep work, so that was a good thing.

Hopefully next week....

The waiting is killing me but would rather have it done right the first time then have to redo it.

Time for an update... I gotta say I am very impressed with Chris and the guys. Over the past couple of months we have made a huge amount of progress. He has a couple new guys that are all business and get things done. It's great to see thing moving at this pace.

So since the color was shot they have finished the underside cleaning up the mini tub welds and detailing the underside before completing the seam sealing and shooting it with Raptor Liner. I really like this stuff since it is textured but not rough like many bedliners.

Chris also had his guys clean up the weld on the subframe. He went way beyond by basically rewelding the whole thing. Here you can see some of the clean up stuff he did. The pics don't do it justice. They look way better and a whole lot cleaner.







Once that was all done and cleaned up it was ready to go back in the paint booth. He shoot the engine compartment, subframe, the underside of the car and the dash in Rally Matte black. It's going to look killer with the brilliant silver.

Cell phone picks so they don't show too much detail. I will get some better pics next time I'm up there.







We are very close to assembly
