Thank you, picking the car up Sunday! Gotta bolt some bits and pieces on as they are currently scattered around my shop.

Back home, starting mocking up some parts! A few areas I'm not real pleased with but it's done and this guy is very reasonably priced and actually gets cars done. Should start coming together nicely!

Ive been taking a closer look at this thing over the past two days and there are some areas in the bodywork that really should have been addressed with me before it was painted. Now considering this guy paints at home it's only going to be so good but he has painted another car of mine and it turned out pretty great so I'm not sure what happened here. Basically along each quarter panel, especially under the LEDs I have in my shop, there is a rippling effect either in the clear coat or the bodywork itself. While standing above it looking down or directly at the side its almost unnoticeable however when looking down each quarter panel its very obvious and distracting from what is otherwise a nice car. The shell did not have any of these ripples when I took it to him and aside from a few door dings it was incredibly straight. I'm left with the decision to take it somewhere else to get their opinion or just assemble it as-is and not worry about it. It's one thing if it was a $1500 maaco job but Im in about $4500 even with me doing the engine bay myself. Not sure what to do so I'll take a couple days to think on it. Need to work on a different project anyways. Ugh.
