Morning Mike.

I'm going to go shoot the body here in a little bit.

What're you doing today?

I wrote a story about that Dave,...read it when you get a chance. I don't have to be there till 3 though,...I'm gonna go down and try,.......try to get the body close enough to prime.

I've been up for an hour or so, about to go work on my fox and try to get the HCI installed this weekend.

K, I'm about worn out. Sorry I haven't got to your thread this morning.

Very cool for you on being close with the body work!

Here's the bay unmasked, no good direct sunlight. But still a brighter picture than last night.

I think I'm going to paint my cc plates while I have them off. I have to two tone the body around the 1/4 window anyhow.

BTW, to ensure a consistent refinish, I recommend craft beers through all stages of the refinish process.

Getting the grey on first. I'm spraying my cc plates the stripe grey as well.

Hate to lose this sticker, but I got to paint this. I'll document it here:

That brings up a good question: is there any good way to save all the door jamb stickers/plaques? Would love to be able to keep mine / put them back when I go to paint mine.

Not so much, no. At work we can get new tags made for us. But older vehicles? I think you can through Marti.

But to reuse them, not really, the will tear up when you take them off.

Thanks Todd, it came out better than I expected.

Thank God. This is why I love to paint. My brother and I took an old beat up fox and it's just sooo nice now.

Now I just need to focus on the mini-tubbing.

Might want to let the paint dry first.
