Default C2 Paint progress!







I need to get motivated to finish this build. I'm burned out. I did a frame off about 11 years ago. Lots of refinements this time.

I'm going to need you guys to kick me in the *** for reassembly.

How I did it was to concentrate on one small item every day. When I was at the stage you are in, I put the windshield in and took my time. the next thing I did was the door handles. I found it very motivating. that color is fantastic! Job well done.

Are you going to "cut & polish" that baby?
Consider your butt kicked..get at 'er. This is the best part of the build.
Your not getting paid to stand around.
LOL
ENJOY!!!

I can understand project burn out, been there. Set some realistic assembly goals and just jump in with both feet.

Great looking paint.

Lots of sanding and polishing to go. Those shots are right after spraying clear.
