I hate to do it but its looking like the car needs to go. I wish I could have just gotten it together and enjoyed it. In time you will have yours done. Good luck with the project.
So sorry to hear. On one hand Im glad I have something to look forward to. But have a headache on my hands at the moment. As of last Friday it was back at the bodyshop and should have been ready for paint today. Trip to his shop tomorrow.

The excitement of waiting to see your paint job, on your car, for the first time. It is so nerve racking. You are excited and sick to your stomach at the same time. So happy for you.

Well. He insisted on wet sanding and buffing it before he delivered it. So its looking like Saturday before shes home.
He knows after waiting almost a year were going to be some what critical as well as the other potential customers in the local area.
