This thread might be on hold for a little while............After all this time, seems the oval will be headed back to the paint shop. I rolled it out into the sunlight the other day and what a debacle. Every panel had thin spots in the paint, feathering, holidays and in some cases almost no paint at all. To say the least, I am unhappy with this nonsense. I have tried to stay positive, since the guy doing it, said he will take care of it. I hope so! I looks so nice in the pics, but then again.....I guess most cars do, fresh out of the body shop. Oh Well, maybe we'll finish it by the end of 2012. I do appreciate all of the awesome comments and support, but I did not post on this issue sooner because I did not want to seem like I was "venting". However, I think I still might be, though.

Alright the car goes back to the paint shop (for a total wetsand, repaint and clearcoat) Monday. I also purchased a rebuilt 1600 with dual 40's and spin on filter set-up. He also had a brand new, in the box freeway flier from rancho, so I had to have that too. I will check the clearance of my front tires (135's) on Sunday night, thanks to Muddobber. Once I get the car back, this time, I will begin the building process. Anybody bored and looking for something to do, give me a call. This has to get fun soon. Very Happy

Car went back to the paint shop yesterday. He assured me that he knew what the problem was, and will take care of everything. Now I cant wait to get it back again. I also bought all new WCM fender beading to replace that nightmare of folded looking beading! I just placed a big order with this company royrogersparts.com, I would recommend taking a look if you need stuff. He is offering FREE SHIPPING, right now on all orders over $50.00. So, I ordered a new tow bar for $79.00 shipped and about 20 other items. Sweet, I like "FREE". Anyway, wish me luck on the paint job. I'll update soon.
