June 2007

As I suspected, I needed to do more body work. I finished the body work last week. After putting up the plastic around my carport, I decided to send the car to an auto paint shop. Everyday after I got to my shop, some portion of the plastic had pull down. We have entered into the afternoon thunderstorm period in FL so I figured I wouldn't/shouldn't try to paint the outside of the car with 90+ degrees and 90+ humidity. Here's some shots of the car outside of the auto paint shop.

I wet sanded the whole body with 320 wet/dry.

Another rear shot. I installed the rear tail lights for the drive over, but removed them before leaving the car.

Here's a shot of the car 1 hour after they rolled it into the sunshine for the first time.

I dropped the car off Saturday morning, they masked and painted the car on Tuesday. I went by Wednesday afternoon.

Another shot.

I picked the car up Saturday morning. They were still washing it.

I installed the rear tail lights again, for the drive back to my shop.

Here's a shot back at my shop.

Another shot.
