*UPDATE
Today Kevin rode over and sprayed some victory red and the clear, tomorrow we will have to touch up a few spots and sand and buff, then we will spray the center part of the cowl hood black and reclear. The paint scheme im going for is similar to the new camaros.

its a tedious process, especially when the guy who paints it is a perfectionest
he also works full time at ford, and a local body shop around here so he comes over when he can. Today we got the hood and fender wetsanded/ buffed. Going to put it all on the truck saturday and next week when hes off work he is coming over to wetsand and buff the bumper, and lay out the black and paint it.

Everything is going on the truck saturday, next week when Kevin is off work, he will paint the black and wetsand and buff the front bumper.

Also got an amazing opportunity at a big machine shot around here called ATLAS Machine

well the bumper will hopefully fit right today, and i will probably be painting the black soon. Also bought my pinstripe that is matched to factory. Cant wait until it is finished

*Bumper is finally on, really looks good. Next up is new headlights, pinstriping, and painting the black whenever it is warm enough
