***PICS***!! 1 week till she`s painted!
« on: April 20, 2006 - 06:16:48 PM »
If all goes according to plans I have the use of a buddys paint booth reserved for next Friday/Saturday to shoot the `69.I did the final prime and painted the door and trunk jambs so all that`s left is to sand with 400 grit and tape and prep.Of course I`ll have pics as soon as she`s done.After that I nned to get tailpipes bent up,front end aligned and take her for a couple shakedown runs and I may be ready for the track in a couple weeks.   :woohoo:

Been a busy couple days!Got the cuda up to the shop yesterday around 1:30 and taped and masked till 4:00 and rolled her into the booth.My buddy Phill came over this morning at 6:45 to go up and give me a hand and we just got back around 4:30,no lunch breaks or anything,painted and taped straight thru all day but she`s done!!!!Of course here are the pics,I haven`t optimized the colors or anything but they`ll give a good enough idea how she came out till tomorrow whenI pick her up and get her out in the sun and get some real pics.
