Randye? Wow! I am only able to type after the burning of my eyes subsided. That is a vision that will forever be burned into my memory. What is making that guy smile? No, wait, don't tell me. 
Jimmy, the interior is looking as good as the outside. Did you ever get that sub working?

Yes the sub is now working just fine.
All the remaining parts are now completely ready for primer.

UPDATE
All remaining parts (Decklid, Rear Bumper, Spoiler, Spoiler stands, Fuel door and fuel insert) are now primered. Everything is also sanded and ready for paint except the bottom side of the decklid. I will get that sanded tomorrow.
The remaining parts will get painted on Wednesday. I will re-install them all on Thursday. Then all that will be left to do is all the cut and buffing.
I will get some pics up on Wednesday night.

I had to do the normal job thing today so no paint got sprayed.  After I got home, I took the time to pressure wash the garage to reduce as much dust and debris as possible. Paint gets sprayed first thing tomorrow.

Paint is on.
Clear is next.
Pics tonight.
Tomorrow I will have to paint the underside of the decklid and the underside of my headlight buckets. I will get the bumper installed tomorrow while the paint on the decklid and headlight buckets is drying. Then I will install them Saturday morning cause it is off to a car show Saturday evening. LOL

OK. Here we go with the pics. I will post them sanded then primered then painted.
Rear Bumper
Decklid... I moved the rear spoiler back 2 inches so the holes you see are in different locations than stock.
Spoiler
Spoiler Stands
Fuel Door
Fuel Door Insert
I am a little dissapointed in todays events. Everything was going fine untill I sprayed the clear. The only part that did not get runs in the clear was the fuel door insert. It's not really a big deal as they can be sanded out but it makes for some extra work.
Tomorrow, the bottom of the decklid and the headlight buckets will get sprayed black.

I love this build and I love your car. I applaud you for having the guts to make your dream a reality. Lots of people talk but it takes someone with real courage to take it to the next level. The color combo looks awesome!
From one painter to another, you are doing a great job!

Wow!!! increadible work...this thread has been such an inspiration to myself and i'm sure many others....
quick question, the area on the front portion of the rear decklid (the area closest to the back windshield that slopes down...in you photo, it is the area with some red paint still on it) how did you go about sanding that to where it would be straight? also, the "stream lines" on the lid where you cannot get a DA sander, how did you sand those as well? did you use a block and if so, what size? or did you do it by hand? thanks and i can't wait to see the end result of your car[This message has been edited by labbe001 (edited 08-07-2009).]
