    Thanks for the comments guys. I downloaded the pics last nite for the vent window tech. I will try and get something up soon for ya.

    Last nite I got the hood hinges, inner fenders undercoated and assembled to the car, and radiator support mounted. Tomorrow nite I will wetsand all of the panels where there is overspray on them and get ready to mount everything to the car

    Been working on the car pretty hard this week. Started assembling it and been wetsanding all of the overspray off the areas we are going to paint next. Jeff helped me a ton again last nite puttin the doors and deck lid on and getting them all adjusted. Thanks again cous. I also picked up this sweet set of headlights on sale that are pretty nice and have glass lenses even. If anyone is interested in them here is a link to where I got them. HOpefully they will still be on sale for over half off if you are gonna pick some up.

    Got the car all put togeather today. It was to humid out to shoot it today so it will get some color on another day. We have plenty of other projects to work on around the shop to keep us busy though.
