Well, the car only had one repaint and needed very little work. Also there is no rust on my car so everything came off easy. The luggage rack holes were the most time consuming. I had some help with the sanding and painting. I Had this planned so I had everything ready. I had veteran's day off. (3 day weekend) and then this was a four day weekend for me. I have done cars(corvettes) before so.....It still was alot of work and my wife was very helpful. She brought me beer and food from time to time.
