Well my car has been in the shop almost a full week now, and the body is completely sanded minus a few areas, and they are starting to rework the bad spots. I took pictures the day I droped it off(17th) on the 19th, and today, the 22nd. I am very pleased so far with the progress!! The body man told me to swing back by tuesday afternoon, as it should be in primer by then!! That means in 2 weeks I could have back home! While I was at the shop, I did some wandering, and saw a '73 "in progress" which belongs to the guy doing my car. I took some pictures. It is in bad shape, but is really cool non-the-less. Also, I walked around the corner and saw a MAKO! I do not know the exact information on it, but the guy says its a '72 mako. So this makes me believe that it was a kit sold by???(baldwin????)....I remember posts about the difference between maco and mako, but I don't remember the details on either. Anyway, I took about 5-6 pictures of that car too, it is absolutly beautiful, even though it is falling apart, and has no engine/tranny/interior, it is also "in progress". That is the first one I have ever seen in real life, and now I know why everyone is so amazed by them. VERY VERY :cool:

Hopefully by tonight I will have all my pictures scanned. Im going to the local vet club meeting tonight, and will be developing my new pictures to show to them, so when I get home I will scan them and create a web page for all of them(I have 40 pictures so far) :yesnod:

PS. I still don't know the color name or code...I feel like an idiot :crazy: cus I forgot the color I picked out. When I go up tuesday, I will have the guy give me the color code, then I'll run to the paint supply store and look up the color name, and this time I'll write it down!

 

Way cool man!
BTW did you know that Proex will put the pics on a CD for free???

 

Proex? non around here...??? :confused:

I have a digital camera, a very good one actually, but I am using my film camera to take my body photo's mainly because I am putting together a scrap book, and I would rather have 35MM film and scan it, then digital pictures printed out w/an inkjet. I am about to begin scanning my old photo's...the ones i took today I didn't get a chance to develop, I will try to do it tomarrow or the next day. Im busy putting together a portfolio...taking a break to scan photo's.

A lot of photofinishers can supply a CD of your photos along with the regular prints.
