I will start with some pix of progress. And an apology for letting this thread lay dormant for almost a year. I just got the car back from paint very recently after 9 months in paint shop purgatory. I simply did not see the point of just rambling on this thread and continually whining about the car being stuck at paint shop. It was taking me to a dark place of both frustration and resentment for the car. So I chose to move on to positive things and focus on competing and teaching all things firearms training. It was a nice break but now it is time to reengage.
