I love the picture with you (at least I think it's you) standing behind the car with what looks like a sawzall. That alone would scare me.

Congratulations :cheers:

WOW! I'm going to be needing some advice from you when it comes time for me to paint my car this winter. I had thought about taking it to a body shop, but figured because of all the people like you on this forum that have done it before, I should have all the advice I need to do it myself. :yesnod: :You should be proud of yourself. :cheers:

No thats not a sawz all, by the time that photo was taken all the cutting was done. But you do think twice before cutting into a fender. That photo is me power washing the car for about the third time tring to get the baking soda out of all the nooks & cranies bufore priming.
