One more grit to go.  Friday I`ll take the car to the paintshop and sand it one more time.  Paint on Saturday....

Looking really good Bart, this time next week should mean full color then. Let the paint cure before you go running around inside or on top of it buddy.  Just concentrate on the underside and get it rolling while the paint is curing. :wave:

I took the car to the paintshop yesterday to sand it one more time, clean and mask.  This morning it was painted. I can`t believe how nice it looks... didn`t expect it to be laserstraight... but it is  :dunno:    :dogpile:

coolest thing happened:  the owner of the shop said he wouldnt be able to do it better...  :smokin:  he usually says other stuff...  :swear:   :roflsmiley:     
I didn`t paint it myself. Rob did... and he enjoyed painting it too  :woohoo:    great job Rob  :2thumbs:  thanks a bunch  :netherlands:
I`m also really thankfull to my dear wife and son, who had to deal with me & my Cuda for the past 2 years....  :scared:  love you baby  :woo:    Now let the fun part begin  :ylsuper:  :ylsuper:  :ylsuper:










I`ll be picking it up tomorrow and get some outdoorpics, if weather permits   :picture:
thanks all for supporting
