And we're back again.

After three attempts at finishing the hood, hopefully...<span style="font-style: italic">hopefully...<span style="font-weight: bold">HOPEFULLY</span></span> that nightmare is now behind us.

Here's Bodyguy a couple weeks ago having just blocked the hood <span style="font-style: italic">again</span> in preparation for buffing;



...and here he is after having just stripped it down to start over again after applying the adhesive and foam:



In Bodyguy's own words...<span style="font-style: italic">&quot;in all my 30-plus years of doing body and paint, I have <span style="text-decoration: underline">never</span> had to deal with anything like this!&quot;</span>

Gott'a love them repop parts [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Anyhow, it now appears the hood has been stabilized, and it will be shot for (hopefully!) the last time in the next day or two.

On the plus side, Bodyguy got the cowl panel and bumper filler panels done this week...and I finally got to see what the paint will look like in direct sunlight:



At this point, we're almost a month behind schedule thanks in no small part to that POS hood. Bodyguy informs me that he hopes to have the car done by the end of the month or thereabouts...barring anymore snafu's of course.

Him I have faith in....the car...not so much.

More eventually.
