Looks great. Glad you're moving along. Do you have any info on that paint booth? I'm looking at building a DIY one.

Plastic paint sheeting stapled with furring strips to garage, box fan with a furnace filter bungees to it blowing OUT. Hose down the floor to stop dust.

Bout time you got some progress!

Went to visit the old girl today and drop off a bunch of parts for the engine. Although it doesn’t look like a tone of progress, he has all the body panels blocked and primed multiple times and it is now straighter then it came from the factory.

He is going to shoot the firewall soon and then get the engine installed and running prior to the rest of the paint to minimize risk.

Looking great. I don’t think I would want to do an engine install with a fresh coat of paint either.

Hahah. Right. I can imagine from your perspective it's taking forever. I dont disagree. The bright side is atleast you can look at what he is doing and be happy with the results. Too many body shops cant even do that right
