    Dave, it's coming along well and looking great! :thumbs2:

    In the days before digital pictures I had my son's pickup painted as a high school graduation present. When I would complain about lack of progress on the truck, the guy doing the work would spray a new coat of primer on it of a different color to make me think he was working on it. Eventually after 18 months I took it away from him and gave it to another paint shop. They stripped it and found eight coats of different colored primer on it! :mad:

    Three years and $9K later he finally got his truck. Thank goodness, it really looked good!

    Dave, do you think you could share the name of the bodyshop with me? I really want to get rolling with the restoration of our Comet and it would be great to have it done by a shop that has just finished a similar car.:yup:
