Well, after 5 years I was not sure I would ever see the day this car was painted! I could not have received a better Christmas present than this! I know there is a lot more to do ( like putting it all back together) but at least I can start in a week to put things together.
My Body Guy FINALLY put the first round of paint on the car yesterday. Today he is wet sanding the first coat (coats) then later today putting more color on for the final paint, then on to the clear coat. His comment was....."what a large car" it sucked up a gallon of paint just to get this far. He said it is one of the hardest cars he has done and he has done over 100 cars. Just the amount of different body lines he had to make sure was straight I'm sure didn't make things easy. I'm going up there today to see the next coat go down and to take pictures. As I write this, I still cant believe how much time has past and remember back how much he has done to make this car really special. He is a true master at his craft, I have been there so many times in 5 years, either helping him or going to see the progress, I should have my own room by now. After this one he is going to slow down on his projects, so I am glad that I was able to get with him before that happens. I'm floating on cloud 9 today.
