tell those guys at maaco that if they get overspray on the engine after I spent so many hours on it, I will just throw the rope over the bathroom door.

No worries there Dave. These guys are as OCD about painting as you are about your builds

Both of the painters are highly knowledgable...much more so than the last guys that did it. I'm anxious to see the finished product!

Dropped the car off at the paint shop this morning. By this afternoon the entire car had been sanded and all the road rash up front had been resurfaced. They decided to paint the whole car for a uniform color appearance so they're going to call me before they start tomorrow so I can get pictures of them painting the car.



Heck, you might as well add a Camero wing from V8Archie since they're starting over with fresh paint.

Camaro wing you say? Where can this be viewed?

I went and saw my car at the shop yesterday. I have a few more things I want them to do, but overall the car came out far superior to the last paint job. I hope everyone will be as impressed as I was when I post the new pictures. Besides...the car was safer in the shop during the storm than in front of my house. I'm looking forward to picking it up after work tomorrow.

WOW! That thing would be completely awesome if it had an un-stretched Countach body on it!
Just Kidding Madcurl Looks great – one of the best builds to date. Drive it with Pride.

Charlie64, that a nice modded fiero you got there.

I'm impressed with the alignment shop...its very, very clean and tidy. That's the way a
shop should be. Man, its discouraging when you bring a nice car in and the shop is newer
that the car you own, but the shop is a friggen mess. I don't know how mechanics can
work when their tool box is out of order. There's not a trace of grease on the alignment rack.

I see they have a newer style rack by Hunter. At least they can't have an excuse for scratching
your rims...

Good job !!
