WOW, looks good. Looks really clean without the side mouldings.

Thanks :D. The mouldings are going back on though once I get them cleaned up. He's gonna shoot them the same color as the rub strips on the bumper.

Looks great, and I'm glad to see a "4-eyes" get some lovin' around here.

Down here, gray/silver seems to go to hell very quickly. I've heard a few times that it's the fastest color to go bad down here. (don't know if it's true, though.. and no idea why, if it is.. I would think dark colors would go to hell faster, but I'm no expert on paint so what do I know? heh) Even really good gray/silver paint jobs like yours seem to get eaten up around here in a hurry. I hope that isn't the case up there.. 'cause that looks sharp.

So, on a side note, did you already know about what I sent you in that PM?

Well, we used "good" materials, so it should be fine. It's not going to sit out in the weather much any more now anyway. I've cursed myself with a car that's too nice now :hick:

YUp, I got your PM. The Esslinger stuff is nice...but $$$$$... I'll use the money towards something else :crazy:

Yeah, this is definitely not going to be a show car. Once I'm not too scared to touch it again I'll be beating the snot of out it, and it's going to be a test mule of sorts.

The 84 XR-7 is going to be more of the "show" vehicle...

The next project is to get the engine back together enough to run and get the cage welded in there and back out to him to paint that so I can get the interior put back together.
