    Nicely done, I really like that shade of red, might paint my car that color when it gets to that point.

    The twin turbo car was a GM color of red. Wish I could remember the name. :Dou: It was "something metallic red". It's headed to Arizona here.

    :TU: Steve!

    I got the door knocked out today. The sun was blasting in from the West this afternoon when I was buffing, and I can see several areas that need to be touched up with the buffer. That is the beauty of dark colors. You see EVERYTHING.

    First course of sanding done. Headliner install halted when we found out one of the plastic rod clips was missing.

    Hopefully tomorrow I can finish sanding and buff this side. I still have to go back over the other side and hit the spots I missed.
