They just delayed it again. They said it would be done in 12 buisness days. this friday will mark the 25th buisness day they've had it :nonono: . We called the first delay and he said it is going in for paint tommorow, then we called a few days later and he said that the prep wasn't good enough and he had to sand and prime again. Now he is saying the paint needs to cure before the stripes can go on, i mean, he knew this before why not just tell me. It does look good though :nice: , i saw the paint on it without stripes, but it just seems to be taking so long. This is my first car and my daily driver and man do i miss it. Guess ill have to settle for driving the 95 bronco (moms) or 94 F-350 crew cab extended-bed dually (Dads, complete with Brooks and Dunn license plate), lol. Sorry to rant but its just been annoying how they say a certain date, then when that date comes, they push it back again. OK i feel better, time to clean some parts.
 
I remember when my coupe went in for paint. I was a senior in highschool. I took it in the second week of March and I didn't get it back till the week after spring break. It seemed like the longest 3 weeks of my life. I was borrowing my families cars when I could but I was stuck with bumming rides and taking the bus to school as they would not allow me to drive anything but my own car to school. Believe me the wait will be well worth it. Hang in there :nice:
