    Work has slowed down. But, to be fair it is my fault. Told the shop owner that I would rather the top put on first, then the car could be painted. So he was going to have inside the car painted  over the weekend, and then the car should be at the upholstery shop today. My reasoning was that if the top guy made a mistake on the body the bodyman could fix it prior to finish prep work. If the top guy messed up the bodyman would charge me to fix it. Hopefully will have new pictures by next weekend.

    Got a call today from the bodyshop owner, says that the car is done over at the upholstery shop. He states that the new top looks good.  Hoping to be able to post some pictures this week.

    Car isn't finished yet, but the body guy was shooting the clear coat when I stopped by. I was happy with the progress that had been made and how the finish coat was going to turn out. We considered sending the car to a shop with a booth, but after seeing a red Mitsubishi Eclipse that they painted, wet sanded and buffed out. I told them to just paint it at thier shop.
