Woooo Hoooo — We’ve Got Color

They painted the doors, jambs, posts, inside trunk lid and under the hood yes­ter­day.  I breezed by after lunch today just to take a peek, check the color and reas­sure myself that we had made the right color choice.  “We nailed it,” I’m tick­led pink with the color and it all looks super.  Every­one at the shop agrees that we are as close as we are going to get, it looks great in the garage and they tell me it looked even bet­ter when she was rolled out in the sun.

Even though I’ve still got plenty of detail work on parts back at the shop, I’m really get­ting the itch to get her back to the shop and start putting her back together, a project that I’m sure will be painstak­ingly slow.  I was informed today that tomor­row is D-Day, their sched­ule opened up and they intend to fin­ish paint­ing the body then.  She is sched­uled into the paint booth for most of the day and I wasn’t really expect­ing that to hap­pen until next week.  Looks like she will be return­ing home some­time mid­dle of next week.

We’ll know bet­ter on Sat­ur­day, but some­time Tues­day, Wednes­day or Thurs­day, weather per­mit­ting she will go back up on the flatbed for the ride home.  I was told today that my “pass­port” into the shop has been revoked and I’m not going to be allowed to see her again until she is fin­ished and ready to be picked up.…. Guess they can do with­out me stand­ing over the painter’s shoul­der telling him how to do his job   So this is the last body shop post until we have her on the truck on the way back and begin the next phase of our project.

Until then.…
