nice work
just make sure they use alot of zinc primer on the other side of those spot welds so it doesnt rust. and it seems like there is a lot of fibreglass being used make sure that its prepped well by them so you dont have inconsistency in the body.

The car is going to be milano red like the engine bay which this guy painted for me the other year when the motor was out. The inside is getting some sort of painting im not sure what yet, mainly for rest protection. Im going to be going with a full interior so it will be all cover. Also inside the fenders and the front frame rails are going red, inside and outside of doors and hatch, basically everything!

Well not, much happened this week as Trevor was supposed to take the week off and work on his new project truck. Althought he did prime my car as that was supposed to be done last week. So here you go!
