I'll bet you can't wait to test drive that new paint. It will be faster as the air slides over it.
Becarefull, it looks great.

After 4 months My Chevelle is coming Home TODAY. Saw it last night to be sure that the Painter and I are on the same page on finishing touches. Looks like we are so this afternoon I will be driving my car home.
Than the full interior install will start

Well the Home Coming has finally come after 4 months of on and off lost sleep and chasing parts and paint codes.
The Painter did an excellent job of blocking, leaving a real nice straight body, and smooth and SHINY as all hell paint job...
Now my labor begins to get the Interior back in and detail everything under the hood, since it took a beating with over spray..
