I just gotta say, you are doing a GREAT JOB John. Your write up and pictures are very motivating. Plus you are doing this with the same resources that many of us have. Big props to you for pulling this off in a single car garage as well. Makes me start thinking about taking a stab at stripping and painting my '81 myself. We look forward to more pics and updates as you continue to make progress.

Thanks guys. Hey give that stripping a shot, you quickly get the hang and feel for it as you go along, and once you fix that 1st crack in the fiberglass and it comes out level and smooth with the surrounding area, its a huge confidence builder. Things really start to snowball from there.

Really the paint and the aura of the painting looks so good and soothing. Waiting to see the final car image, great job done.
