Body & Paint Update
Well, here's how she sits as of tonight. The underside of the hood is painted, the fenders and doors are jambed and all are back on the car. Jay still has to start on the bumper covers. I'm leaving the headlight doors red because it looks so cool.

Here's the driver's side door jamb. I think he said that was only 2 coats of clear. The exterior is getting 4 coats. Hey, that's not a stock Firebird doorhandle.
Weather permitting, it'll be blue within a week.

Kevin, we're going to finish in a tie; I know it. My jams were just painted 2 days ago, the body was supposed to get painted tonight. I'll try to get some new pics up soon. Yours is looking fabulous!

BTW, I'm following in your wheel-swap footsteps again. I recently bought a set of gray-center GTA rims. It's good to have choices. TGO Supporter
