            Im thinking sometime next week. Im not sure if Im going to paint it or not. The shop Im doing the body work in is not the best for trying to do a very clean paint job. Body work and primer is no big deal since it will be sanded out anyways before spraying.
            I dont want to go shooting color and have all the dust from it settle on the paint thats drying. Then when spraying the color or clear it will cause dry spots. I dont need or want that at this point.
            So Im going to go to a local body shop and see what they will charge me if I have the car all ripped apart. Then all they will have to do is the final blocking and fix whatever I missed before they shoot color.

                The humidity is fighting me bad with the bondo work. Either it doesnt want to dry or it doesnt want to spread right. So its taking me a while longer. I only had one problem with the primer and thats when the heat was just to much and it didnt dry 100% in the 9 hours that it sat in the sun. So when it did rain that night I got little white spots in them panels which sucks.
                Oh well, should be all taken care of Monday. :)

                    Well, 90% of all the body work is done. I was tweakin on the suspension the past few days. Heres a few newer photos.




                    Then it was time to update the trunk setup.
                    Got my MDF cut.


                    Set my shit up kinda the way I wanted it.


                    Pulled it all out.


                    Ran a few lines.


                    Thats it for now. I have the whole interior ripped out and I need to fix some body work under the hood and a few other odds and ends. I have to have the whole car stripped so I can drop it off Monday the 16th at the painter. :)

                    Oh yeah, The hard lines above will be copper once I figure out how I want it all ran.

                            What is the significance of the copper hardlines?

                              Just for looks, Makes it look cleaner. Not so sloppy with the plastic lines.
