Thanks,everyone! When I took the pics today,I was looking,to the best of my ability,to spot ANY flaws! Not ONE run at all,anywhere! A few "spits" on the surface...but nothing that won't wet sand out easily. Once again..could not tell where any of the body work was done..not even the brazed-in patches,below both doors! Needless to say,I'm one HAPPY CAMPER! As far as wet sanding too hard...NOT MY WORRY! Tony wouldn't even think of letting me help him do that! ...smart man! Raff,I just might need your help to pick it up! Most likely, another week-and-a-half. And I agree..MUST be a dry day! THANKS for your help!

SixPack...the X did have the factory organisol black,and beltline moldings installed..and will continue to have them. The six pack hood will also be painted the same black. I need to find some wheel well lip moldings,though...the originals are shot! Here's an older pic of the car. Thanks for asking! Randy B.

You're going to be picky as hell about all the mouldings/trim now. Once you get a nice shiny paint job, you want to replace everything around it. I bought a ton of stuff I didn't budget for because they all suddenly looked like crap! It's a sickness!

Real nice! Just wait until you get it buffed out and in the sun!
I think you made a wise choice with the color.

She's getting there Randy.

Like mentioned earlier i also found that a lot of my trim wasn't up to par after i had the car painted. It can turn into a "full resto" pretty fast. Wait till you go to put the trim back on, you'll be on pins & needles.But like everything else it passes and you'll be throwing parts back on to get it ready for the season without worrying about scratching something after your first little nick.Leave the Brador for after working on her.

Back to your other post, I understand trim that looked good before just doesn't cut it with new paint {btdt), slippery path there.

Daty..There's NO WAY the GTX leaves outta my pole barn without NEW trim..where needed! With new paint...ONE installation is all I'll be able to handle...hopefully,without having a nervous break down! .....Kerry,Tony(painter)was not my friend when this project started...but,he is now! We get along GREAT! He's VERY easy going...and modest,as well..but,VERY confident in his abilities! My kind of guy!

Just Pokin fun, Car looks AWESOME! Looking forward to pictures all back together and on the track! I am a green guy and have a few toys that color, your pictures reminded me of a '70 RR that I almost bought back in '95 but ended up buying my current '72 rr I have now, and I painted it green just not the same shade as yours.

416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out.
