    I know I have had this car for awhile and I opoligize to Dave and thank him for his paitence. I've been trying to build a garage, adopt a child from another country, be a dad and a husband, and I'm still trying to get it all figured out as far as time management. This is how Daves car looks right now. I guess what promted me to post this was RPorters thread, but I didn't want to hijack his thread. I will be painting the jams this week if all goes well, my painting area is so small that I can only paint the main body jams then pull the car out and do the underside of the hood, trunk, and doorjams. I will reassamble the car to paint the outside, I don't want to chance body panel painting it and having any of the panels coming out a different shade. I wish I had the ability to make this car black straight but hopefully I will get better in time and the yellow should be a little forgiving. If you attend the round up you will be see my work. Dave should have one pretty wild car. It will be corvette milenium yellow with candy purple flames. Anyways here it is.

    Very cool, I am very anxious to see the final product. I used to paint cars myself, back in my teens and early 20's, but haven't done it in so long that I don't think I could now. I understand your struggle for "time management" only too well, keep up the good work!
