So they finally sprayed some preliminary primer to make sure the lines are good and to make any adjustments

car should be going getting full primer and color tomorrow!!!

then it'll bake for about a week, then buff and polish, and she'll be on her way back to my house!!

I can't wait to get the fenders 100% bolted on...its gona look crazy!!!

They started the 2nd layer of primering the fenders, doors, and body
then they'll sand it down again to make sure all the lines are right
then if it gets cleared by Mike the owner of Miami Autoworks, it goes in for color

also
Finally got to putting the threaded inserts into the body to bolt on the rear fenders

such a freaking scary moment to see them drilling into the body of my car!!! :bigeyes::bigeyes::bigeyes:
I almost jumped in front of the drill to save her!! lmaooo

but the finished product became really nice with the stainless button head fasteners :nod:

Car came out of the paint booth...and Miami Autoworks, my body shop, is the best freaking body shop on the planet. period.

heres pics of the car out of the booth...no wet sand....no buff...just the final layer of clear over it

now i'll be taking the fenders off...take her home, get her all started up and running, put the body parts back on...then after about a month, once the clear has properly cured, i'll bring her back to get completely wet sanded and buffed

look at the metallic and its not even outside in the sun!!!

enjoy!!

She's starting to look like a car again!!!

if all goes well i should be able to get her back at my house on friday

Also i tried on the Garage BB 1600mm wing on my bosses FD, and it looks like its going to be the perfect width for Roxy with the wide body.
