| What AMT model are you talking about? Lol BWD You should see it in person. Its been described as stunning. Of course I do get the occasional person that doesn't like it. Thats when I say step away from the car....

| This has been the craziest amount of work I have ever done on a paint job. I have a body guy working on the 89 with me and this has been going on for like two months. I think it will be ready for paint on Thursday. Bought the sealer paint and clear it was a litte over a thousand. Got one of the best custom hot rod painter in my area to paint the car and his finisher is the guy thats been doing the body work. Going to take two days to paint the car and all those parts. Please say a little prayer for me. I'm hoping its going to come out awesome but so many things can go wrong. This is very stressful....BWD

| Ok the car is PAINTED!!! Came out drop dead gorgeous. So yesterday the guy that works with me sanded down the whole car with 1000 grit sandpaper and today we are moving onto 1500 grit. Then the sar will be buffed to a standstill. Heres a before picture of the car catching a ride to the paint booth.....white primer....BWD
