    wow exciting! good luck to you and the blob! Hope this guy treats you right...and stealth look FTW.

          I'll think about it...but probably not. This car will pop, I guarantee it. I have shit loads of things to install on it all that are shiny...mudflaps, visors, factory trim pieces, 79' specific rear license plate chrome bucket, aluminum rear window trim, door guards etc....this car will be poppin'

                    We have coverage. around 30 pics coming up. Paint is on the car looking good. Some sags in the clear but that will all be taken care of in time. Got to the body shop around 9:30, wetsanded the entire car with 600, pressure washed the car, blown the car dry, masked off the car, and got it in the booth at around 2:30 where it stood till 5:30 when the final coat of clear was laid. Looking good so far, but will look mint after it is cut and buffed.

                            The painter said it wasn't necessary. He insisted they stay.Okay I said....while I carefully masked around them.
