    This past week, I blocked the car a couple of times, re-primed it, and then yesterday crossed the biggest milestone in any restoration - I PAINTED IT!!!!!

    Gary, awesome work, as normal. 

    Two things I think need to be brought up:

    1.) Invest in proper camera.  Soon.  Or turn on the flash on your cell camera - that will make a big difference.  :picture:   :poopoke: 

    2.) You have an infestation in your shop.  I'm sure I spotted a Camaro in the back.   :roflsmiley:

    1.  Flassh doesn't seem to help.  Cell phone camera's are so darn convenient but I guess you're right, I should start using a better one.  I actually have a decent one at home but I usually leave it there for my wife in case she needs it.  Guess I'll start bringing it with me to the shop...

    2 - Yup - there's a Chevy lurking about.  It's a 91 RS Conv.  The owner just got the engine and trans rebuilt and I am repainting it for him.  Should be out of there in about a week.  I "may" be getting a 67 Mustang in shortly thereafter so I guess I should call an exterminator

    Update for today - just a pic of the floorboards before I shot them with the bedliner.  They were super clean and I only had to patch a small 2" * 3" area in the driver side (right where you rest your left foot).  I'll post some pics of the completed job later today.

    Installed the vinyl top today - sorry no pics, forgot the camera at my shop.  I did, however, take this pic of me and my car this morning.  Now I guess I have more motivation to loose a little more weight, Where the heck did that double chin crap come from?!?!?!?

    Greg - I took your advice and brought the good camera to my shop, the next batch of pics should be a lot better as far as color etc.

    Gary,

    Stop posting these pictures....Every time I take another look at this car my hand inches closer to my wallet.

    You are going to get me in trouble.
