I'm quite possibly in love with your color scheme and the build altogether. I think I speak for everyone when I say, we appreciate every last detail you put into your obsession and I'm sure you will all the same. Good luck man, hope to see you on the road one day.

Thanks man! I really wanted to go all out on the details. I'm sure more will come but it feels good to be so close to paint, I literally never thought I would get as far as a have so far!

Thanks greg, like I've said this has been a HUGE project and I never expected it to take 2 years to do!
Here's some small progress, I got the back half of the car ready for prime and stuff, got the wing grille insert and front fender extensions ready, getting the fenders ready now. I also fixed the typical ttop car rust area in the windshield frame, I knew i had to do this so before I scrapped my old 89 I cut this section out of that car for the 88. I finished the body work on it but didn't get any pics. Here's a couple pics of some progress worth posting. I decided to clean up the inner edge of the fender to clean up the haggard factory cuts. I like the way it looks although I may be going a little overboard with this one. BTW its 1 am and I am getting a ton done tonight! It's nice being at the shop alone without any distractions, besides the interwebz. lol

I have no set time of when the car is going to be done, thats how I end up rushing things and it never comes out right. I'm just gonna keep working on it when I can until its done. I'm hoping by late spring it will be done. I want to go to Carlisle with it in the summer and Mmmmmmaybe myrtle beach but I don't know. I work on the car tuesdays and thursdays during the week after work and the gym and then I work on it pretty much all day on saturdays and sundays. It's coming along nicely, hopefully will be in primer within the next two weeks or so? then jambed out right after that. We'll see.

Coming right along Jesse! This thing is going to be brutal competition for anyone going up against it at a show. I hope you have a nice glass case picked out for the trophies.

It sure is a whole lot of work, seems to be endless at times but this is when things pay off.

I may be repainting a BONE STOCK 91 LX thats a twin to my daily. It will dont the same way my car is being done.

i did my door jambs but the factory spot welds are kind of bothering me and i am thinking of smoothing out the door jambs as well.i know this is crazy and if i keep going like this i will never get it done.i have been getting some progress with mine as well the dash is in and i sound deadened the interior.
