It's been a while coming, but the car has color!!!! I'm happier than a tornado in a trailer park!

Here's what the car looked like at lunch time today :

And here is how it looked at dinner time between it's 2nd and 3rd coats of clear. The airbrush artist is coming in later this week to do the flag and some ghosted flames on the stinger, then it's to final touches before she comes home where I get to put her back together!!

Default Airbrush Artist Arrived!

Well, the airbrush guy arrived today and to quote my 16 year old daughter "O-M-G!!". The ghost flames on the scoop and the ghost flag in the stripe came out awesome. And only a few hours to do them. The pics are after 2 coats of clear over everything. One more coat went on after these pics, and color sanding on Monday. I've been promised I'll have the car back by next Saturday.

The ghosted flag in the driver's side stripe :

Had to drop off some odds-n-ends for the headliner install (i'm having the shop put the headliner in so I don't destroy it). The shop has sanded everything and all but the hood and fenders are buffed. Got to roll the car out into the sun because the painter was so excited about seeing the car in the sun, oh, me too... Here's a couple pics from today. She'll be home Saturday assuming the weather permits.
