Thanks! And keep us posted!

Thanks sooo much guys! It's your encouragement that keeps me going.

Say, have you ever noticed how one small thing mushrooms into a major undertaking?! In the direct mid-day sunshine yesterday the car looked pretty good. The paint wasn't a perfect match but then again I didn't expect it too. Well, this evening after work, I went down to the shop to see how well the paint had cured and to start work on the wiring and bumpers...BIG MISTAKE!!! I pulled the car out and in the evening sun those fenders aren't even close to matching! Looks like an old black and white police car! Well, never one to be satisfied, I've decided to respray the whole car. I was planing to do this next year but....I just can't live with the fenders being so far from matching the rest of the car! And not that there is anything wrong with that style (note the disclaimer) If my fenders don't match, I may as well make a "Rust Rod" out of it!
Damn OCD! And yes, all the labels on the oil cans in my shop are facing out! So stay tuned I'll probably start yet another thread on the progress of the respray.
Gotta run, I'm going down to the shop and start striping the car down.

Cheers

Chris
