Pics not working for me. Your blog works though. I'm impressed. My dad has done body work for 30+ years, so i've done a few of my own cars, seen as its praticaly free for me. I thought i was gonna see you at home with some rattle cans but actually wet sanding and everything, nice job.

You gave me a potential idea on a possible paint theme, well, really how to seperate the two colors.

In the shop you painted it, you didn't have a problem with the dust on the floor going up on the new paint?

I asked the same thing. The response I got was: "Don't worry, it's only a race car."

Exactly, that's why rattle cans work so well

But that is exactly right!

It's not a show car and it's gonna get "Screwed up big time" the first race you take it to Willow! So, no need to worry about a few fish eyes!

When I repainted my car in 05, I went to all the trouble of wet sanding it and buffing it out, wow, oh wow. If I would've known what I know now, I never would have done that!

Reminds me, I gotta give Sam a call! I know another EF that needs a paint job!

Those aren't trailer lights, they're for sending secret messages to the pits using encrypted flashing sequences.

Careful what you wish for, Johnny Mac. Then again, which is more likely to happen - you show up at the track in a race car *and race in it*, I race a Honda, or Thawley beats Bernardo heads up?

Does shaving your legs make one go crazy?

I beat you in my Nissan regularly back in the day when you actually raced (what was that, like 6 years ago?!?!), and "Timmay" and I climbed all over each other like Edo and Jeremy did every race, so it can't be any more fun than that!
