 :dunno: Here I thought the Duster was already block sanded and in primer and ready for some "makeup", as in FM3  :roflsmiley:

While at Carlisle I made a solo pigramage to the A-body section (via the smoothie booth) to Duster Row . . . and began studying the Masters.  I studied.  And I studied.  I took the pictures below....   Standing amidst such pefection,  I closed my eyes.  It might have looked strange to those around me as my hands slowly traced in the air both the rough and smooth contours of Pixie Duster's body lines that I've come to know so well,  envisioning them in some future state as liquid glass, flowing gracefully, catching the light and reflecting back only those special hues found in FM3...   I resolved then to never surrender, never give up.  The quest for perfection must not end. . .

 :faint:

Maybe I should just get back down to the garage and get back to work -- put some more filler on there and get sanding again.

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

I hear ya Red, it happens to me every time I walk out in the garage, then the harsh reality sets in.

Red, my dear friend, are you BS'ing us? Those "mini" picks all seemed to be too much like the same car/same paint job, and we all know how FM3 changes from one car to another, one light condition to another...............are these lil tease frames not truely in reality THE Pixie Duster ready for the premiere unveiling? If not, you best get your butt down to the garage and proceed with the above task! That dear daughter of yours has been most patient and summer is nearing an end.  :roflsmiley: I'm sooooooo wanting to see that "Pixie smile".............  :bigsmile:  :bananasmi  :wave:

OK, ok, what is up? Is there any kind of encouragement we can offer here?

Cold  :cheers:?

A few  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:?

Would it help if we picked on MEK some more?  :bigsmile:

Maybe April could name the puppy Pixle to show some support? (Puppy Pixles are smaller that Pixies I think?  :dunno:)

Pixie is young yet, but some of us are hoping to see paint on the car before we die of old age.  :bigsmile:

No idea what is up, but I do know you all worked very hard on it so far, everyone needs a break now and then. BUT if you DO need some motorvation or enpinkagement, just let us all know, ya'hear?  :dogpile:  :cheers:  :2thumbs:  :cooldancing:  :bigsmile:  :wave:  :grinyes:  :drunk:  :naughty:  :droolingbounce:  :woo:

If i have to paint my toe nails pink to jump start ya'll I'll do it if MEK does it first................................
