Hey, there is nothing wrong with stitch.

He's the only main Disney character, that's a bad-boy.

I might not have Stitch stitched onto my seat covers, but I love that little guy too.

The seats do look nice keep up the good work. I cant wait to see the car complete.

After talking with you, I see where you taped is not as wide as Id thought. It looked like a 1 or 2 inch border around the panel. 1/4" like you say wont be that hard to block off. I do still prefer breaking it right ON the crease line myself or not at all. Keep us posted.

Yesterday and today were very productive days. Yesterday, I got all the panels taken off the car and got 1 door panel sanded down. Today, I got the whole roof and rear clip sanded and ready for primer...






I also got 2 coats of primer on and block sanded and then got the last coat of primer on. Now it just need sanded again for paint.




Tomorrow I hope to get the other door panel and the rear decklid sanded & primered. Then all thats left, body panel wise, will be the rear quarter panels and rear bumper. I hope that by next weekend, I will be painting the main body colors.

The car is looking good. I love the seats, not sure I'd put Stitch there, well, maybe if the car was blue but how can you not love Stitch

ʻOhana means family and family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten. You're never too old for Disney, are you?

What are you using to sand the factory Blue paint ?

The reason I asked is that you seam to have a lot of high and low spots after you sanded the blue.
I am a little concern that those hight and low spots might show up after you paint it.
