    In the morning I’m taking my Maverick to get soda blasted and into the body shop for paint. It all started last Thursday when I asked my friend at Napa if he knew any painters. He gave me a name to a body shop and next thing I knew the phone was ringing telling me to bring it on in. I spent today removing parts that will be painted/plated separated. I wish I had more time getting ready but the mobile blasting guy is a different company than the bodyman and I had to pull the trigger now to fit into both of their schedules.

    Going with Grabber Blue like on the new Mustangs. I hear it has a slight richer tint than the 70's Grabber Blue.
