Curtis sold his other 'filler' project.... probably for the best.

Paint work is brutal. I think it will turn out great, but I don't understand why these guys move so slow.

Paint Jail? Nah...When you consider one guy is doing all the work, the length of time he's had the car and the time he spent on the Mustang, not to mention LIFE....It's actually gone pretty quick.

The car has been ready for color since Nov 1 st. But of course we had to see that Mustang Goolsby brought to SEMA which sent us looking again! Hey Jim liked it to.

I don't expect Jim to do any work on the car till after the New Year. Hey man....it's the Holidays. It's family time.

Apparently everyone wants to know what you're doing. Once you're done with the car this thread won't get any attention.

Doh! I feel like dad just walked in now I'm in trouble... Jim, I get it and realize the time involved to do what you do, I'm sure your customers do as well....That's all that matters.
Curtis, I'll be paying attention after its painted...I'm really starting to enjoy these Camaro "kit car" builds.

Jim, I hope you know everyone is just playing around. Your reputation is very much intact and you have taken great care of some very discerning customers as far as I know. We just like to take jabs at each other... pretty much as often as we can. Sometimes even without merit.

Merry Christmas to you sir

That Basher guy.... don't mind him.

Nice job Jim, the car is looking great.
