I'm unable to wait a bit, I taked a pics a few minutes ago (5h15am) to post two pics of the Bird almost finished:hick: , I'm too happy:D  (finally finished)...

Okay, I need to repaint the bumpers trims, ect, but it's near the door, when the weather decide (around 8" snow for the next weekend), BUT after that, I'll put out the Bird out of the garage, and nice season for Me with My lovely Bird:D ...

Here's two pics with the chrome trims here, and near finished (except a great cleanup inside EEEH!)...

Almost done, just doors keylocks, trunk carpets and amplifier, ect, and some stupidity like that, OH YESS!!!!!!!, I'll plate the Bird for the first ov April, and if snow and ice are out of My garage entry, thrust Me, I'll pull out fast:D .

Oh yeah, the 'bug' a car guy gets right before his car is done is like nothing else, whether its a weekend project or one that has taken months or years.  It's lookin great man, I hope you enjoy it a lot!

Poly paint is a pain to wet-sand as opposed to a base/clear enamel.  Bird droppings STILL leave marks 5 years later that have to be compounded.  When I say marks I mean marks that in some instances need to be wet-sanded.  I did this twice last year alone.  There is a lot less room for error with poly paint.

Okay, next time paint with a clear coat (onerous), or acrylic:D

I decided to paint mine with an acrylic enamel cauz the base coat was too pricey for Me (near 900$), and I figured My car never go out in a winter (basp00get garage), so the acrylic is the best for My car...

I'll enjoy a lot for sure, this bird run like a new car (last year rebuilted the V6), and I full equipped with what You want (full load)..

I'll just add a stab/sway bar on the drivetrain (from a stang or...) and with My "poor V6" I'll strong enough on the road...
