Well Purple Lady and I plan to leave for the Turkey Run Wednesday morning, but our Cat still isn't out of the body shop. I spent 7 hours at the shop yesterday helping the guy as much as I could. However we still didn't get it finished. What has been completed looks awesome and the paint is a mirror. We are supposed to definitely get it back tonight. It's taking allot longer (six weeks tomorrow) because the guy is an pefectionist. Yesterday he wet sanded and buffed the car ( hood, doors, deck lid, left quarter and rear pan) 5 times that I personally witnessed. However he had worked on it for several hours before I got there. Yet still when I left there were still a few small spots (pin pricks) he wanted to fix. He showed me yesterday that when you have the car out in the sun you can't see things that you can when its inside under the lights. The following pieces still need to be buffed out and installed back on the Cat. Right rear quarter, both side panels & lower rockers, nose, grille, headlights, front fenders, mirrors and bumpers. I was hoping to post pictures of it completed before we left for Daytona. Now I don't think that is going to happen. I also have been taking as many pictures during the process as possible. I don't want to post them until the Cat is completed. Those will definitely not be posted until after Daytona.
I designed the theme of the flames and we also picked out the colors. The air brush artist then embellished them with his own personal touches. The end result is awesome. It's like nothing no one else has. I can't wait to see what everyone thinks.
Keep your fingers crossed we have it for Daytona. But we are going with or without our Prowler. Hopefully with.
