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.

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.
