That's a great color! Some reason I thought it was going to be gray.

This guy is good and working on Memorial Day weekend to keep the schedule. I can’t ask more than that. Unless something happens I will have dodged the dreaded paint jail.

All the pieces are plated, or stripped and ready for paint. A little more straightening and she will be ready for color. I approved the color over text but he insisted on mailing me that sprayed plate for final approval so I’m waiting for it to show up and then I guess we will be in it past the tipping point.

The deeper we got into the trunk lid the worse it got but I think it’s done now. It ate up several days but as you can see from the video it almost/is done. Now we can move on to the final stages
