It's all part of it, and as I said, I'm totally happy with the service of the shop. I would recommend them to others, the stuff they put out is great, and have done show winning stuff in the past.

Would be great to have it back before the end of the year, have my fingers crossed!

Still excited to see pix of the final product. Glad to hear the shop is taking care of you.

I think all of that is one of the reasons why I don't finish my cars. I don't have to absorb the stress over imperfections!

Yeah, most of the imperfections are due to quality of aftermarket parts, so there's really not much I could do about that anyway.

And I'm excited too! It's going on 3 years I haven't had this car, so I'm jonesin'!

Sucks to have to send back but obviously worth it. Hope it's smooth sailing once you get it back.
Thanks for all the posts I don't always reply but enjoy the thread.

And thank all for their' kind words and support!

I'm really hoping to have it back before end of the year, that should give me time to crunch before the summer, so I can enjoy the thing!

UPDATE:

Body shop is almost done getting the final touches done, and am hoping to get it back in a week or so.

They did get the stripes installed, and I have to say, WOW! Those things POP! The Phoenix Graphic stripes are incredible, and the effect is nothing short of breathe taking. The pics don't do it justice, as a matter of fact, just viewing them on different computers and cell phones, the color changes, which I had to take a double take on. Odd.

The way those thing flip colors as you walk around it is cool, pink, orange, mix, it's exactly what I was hoping for. In the pics, you can really only see orange, or at least on my computer that's what I see, the original phone pics you see more pink/purple/magenta.

One thing left is the rear wheel opening trim fitment, since the body shop did patch panels. It had skins put on it at one time, and I wanted the quarters correctly repaired, had those skins removed, and butt welded patches on, and repaired the outer wheel houses. My concern was the shape of the opening, and the fitment of the trim, so provided the trim at the beginning of the project. But, along the way, they forgot to check fitment before they painted. So the opening of the patch panels are kind of 'off'. But they will work it out.

So that, and a spot or two in the clear that needs to be fixed, and it's coming home. Finally!

Those stripes really make the blue pop. Beautiful, Carmine.
