Back again.

No real update from last weekend, bodyguy wound up having an issue with the clear on the cowl & jambs and had to sand and re-spray the color and clear again, but thankfully there weren't any snafu's the second time around.

Bodyguy #2 made a brief stop back in town yesterday and helped #1 get the (now painted) doors hung back on the car.

The color pops pretty well considering it hasn't been sanded & buffed yet. Yes, the hinge bolts are coming back off to be painted.

Tentative schedule for the upcoming week:

-The hood is supposed to be painted Monday

-The fenders are receiving their final details on the inside and should be painted sometime this week as well.

-If Bodyguy doesn't call me during the week for an extra set of hands, by next weekend the nose of the car *should* be ready to put back on (again barring any more snafu's).

More eventually.

Looking awesome Eric. I would like to be there when you take delivery of your car to see your smile. Rachael might as well become a car widow now as she will never see you after you get the car home. LOL

Re: Chevelle updates
 

LOL @ Rick! Looks great Eric!

Re: Chevelle updates
 

----Eric,,,Everything looks great! I have to ask, though, how will you take the hinge bolts off, paint them, and then reinstall them without damaging your paint-job??? Bill S

Bodyguy obviously has some sort of trick up his sleeve...after the magic he's already performed transforming this flatulent piece of roadkill back into a car again, I ain't gonn'a doubt him.

Back again.

Bodyguy got the fenders and some firewall details wrapped up this week.

The drivers fender was in place when we arrived today.

Bodyguy did some touch-up work on the firewall paint and got everything in the cowl finished up as well.

(We had to scare up a plug for the antenna hole before we hung the passenger fender)

Notice the hinge bolts are all painted now [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I can't wait to see what this thing looks like once it's been color sanded.

That's all for now, more later.
