Well..Got the roof rack holes Sealed in last night.
I had a Buddy who is a Dent guy Cut out all eight Roof rack holes to fit some 1/2'' plugs he had, then we Sealed the plugs before installing them and covered them with sealer afterward.
They better not leak....LOL!
Also worked on a few more Dent/dings to get them squared away .
Now If I can just get the damn Car Sanded primed and blocked out before tonight...
Damn..WHy Am I on the computer typing this....I have work to do!

subbing....sean and i want to come up and visit!
Well..I couldn't quite get the damn car ready for paint this weekend....SO It'll have to wait at least a week.
It better this way anyway....No need to rush..It'll just look like it if I do.
Hood Before Priming....This thing is/was in horribble shape.
I could spend countless hours getting this thing to look good on both sides..But I wont.
I will concentrate on the outside only for the most part.
I am gonna block it down, fix a few spots that showed their head last night after priming and Re-prime it today.
Then it should be good to go after a good blocking.
Parts Everywhere!
New Front MSP Bumper sitting there as well....Nice having new stuff that doesn't need but a few minutes of prep.
Yesterday..I managed to get all the handles Prepped, the liscense pocket garnish, the Fuel Door, Right Rear 1/4, RR door, RF door and RF fender, LR 1/4 all sanded down and ready for some spot priming.
Hopefully I get the rest Sanded down today and Spot primed before any rain decides to show.
I think I might actually have to make room for this in the garage.

yeah man, I admire your abilities. I think I'd be too scared to try something that big myself....painting my R/C car was stressful enough, haha.

oh sweet, and how much was it?
because the turbo i have is a little rough and could use a good sand blasting and pc-ing

Its hard to give a Price....I had a Guy From my bike forum DO it...and a bunch of other parts for my car and All Of my Bike Parts at the same time.
I have a couple of guys I use for PC'ing....He just happens to do HEat Coatings.
I think I got about $125 in the TUrbo and piping if you break it down that way.
