Still at the body shop getting the "show quality" paint job done. I am really really wanting Joey to get her car back so that I can drive it she can drive it.

I'll be spending quite a bit of time with the body shop guys this coming week to oversee the details. I should be able to pick up my car in about 2 weeks! I will be taking pics of the progress, but wont be posting them til I get my car back....

Its gonna be another one of a kind paint job!

Thats all I'm sayin for now...

Pics will be posted here... I will have Dave post up 2 teaser pics later today. I should be able to pick up the car in about a week, give or take.

I'm so excited! My car is done except for the clear coat....

Don't be disappointed by the teaser pics.... The paint job has been a secret... and will remain so until I pick it up....

I saw Joey's vision in person for the first time today and all I can say is ZOMG! (inside joke). Wow. What we had originally talked about has gone past anything I could have thought of. There were hours of time spent on the "flashy part" of the paintjob. This exceeds my orange and black GT, and Joey is to be given the full credit for her design. Here is a teaser pic that doesn't reveal too much except for the base coat.
If all goes well, she will have her car back in her hands within ten days and driving it across the country within a month.
