They have started stripping the panels on the car. I am VERY nervous but I know my baby is in good hands. I will continue to keep everyone posted as updates become available. Look at those HUGE intercoolers....

Congratulations! I hope everything goes well. Besides the new Paint job, are you going to do any other visual mods (wheels, new front/rear fascia)?

Front and Rear Tiger Shark panels. I had to back out of the rims to pay for the full paint job.

Since MTI was on a week vacation, I towed the car to Richey Collision so they could get a head start. Thanks to Tom aka Blazezone he takes pictures and keeps me posted about my car. He is an awesome forum member.

Be sure to take as many pics as you can during stages of the process, you will be very glad you did in the years to come.
