looks great!, you must be just about ready to spray color.
I can hardly wait to see the finished product!

Yes the bro in law paints cars for a living. All the priming is being done in the garage but will go to a booth for paint.

Great paint job, looks like a mirror. Time preparing this one was time well spend, I hope my Vette will be as shiny as that.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I see you're from Springfield. You really should drive to the Hooters here in Columbia MO this coming Sunday. BIG Vette / bikini show there.

That paint job looks awesome, your brother-in-law is doing an amazing job. Your car is gonna look sick once it's finished and back together. The hood is pretty wild, I like it!
