The Carp surfaced last week, and appears to have settled back on the bottom for a while. I'm sure he's enduring his fair share of "pain" with that project.

atleast he didn't try attaching bubblewrap to the wheel. I hope.

I think the Carp is being quiet because he wants me to send Avril to the house to whip his ass, ha ha.

I'm here.....working 12 hour rotating shifts keeps me away from the puter.
I phoned this morning and they just finished colour sanding the car. They have to buff it and then re-install all the bits and peices and clean the interior up. I should have it back by Wed.

Hey thanks for the update, looks like things are coming along. By now you should be grinning. Hope it turns out as well as you want it to.

Glad to see that last pic has filler all along the horizontal crease in the door panel, otherwise, it would show the grinding and would not be uniform. I've seen way too many early model Vettes like that and the body work shows it was done by an amateur. Looks like they know what they're doing. Good luck!

I'll bet Carpet is like a cat halfway up the drapes, hanging on with the ole claws right about now.

Not anymore. I picked it up this morning. Penske would be proud of me. I choose a Mercedes Graphite Black Metallic paint. It is the most metallic paint I have ever seen. Its black with green, red, silver, gold and copper metal flake in it. It amazing paint. I'll post a few sun pics of it tomorrow.

Yeap, definetly looks Canadian.
Oh yea, and Avril is a poser. Trys to be a skanky skater to get attention, but is really a prissy prep. One of the very people she looks down upon in her music.

Ha ha ha...I think is too funny when people that don't have a clue about Avril say the same thing. Trust me, she was a punk skater chick.
