Well sadly this update does not bring any new notice on the paint but I do have pics of the car on primer. I also got my new OEM valance.

Is that a dent right below the rhd taillight?

It's not a dent, it's the weld for the tail panel. It should be covered by the bumper

I think he means the small ding directly below the passenger side tailight (about the size of a quarter?) - which isn't covered by the bumper. Anyways, not trying to hate, just wanted to point it out in case you missed it. EDIT: could also be a weird shadow or texture from the primer making it look dented.

Either way, good build so far, looking forward to more updates!

With spring here, I finally get to start my REAL job. No longer at the shop every day, I have to wait till night time to see what's happening on the car. Today was the big day. The car is no longer white but finally got the paint. These are pictures my buddy sent me while I was working. Still haven't seen it in person. Needs to be sanded and buffed but I'm sure it looks fantastic. Enjoy.

PS.. Im not giving out the paint code ;)

I can't wait to see this car done!
