Nope, no time. Probably no time soon either... I'm leaving for Bahrain on thursday for about a month and from what I hear work is going to be pretty busy for the rest of the year.

I finally have a little bit of time to put into this so I'm back on the project for a little while. I have off until sunday then I have to go to Paris and I probably won't be able to work on it for at least a month. I have a quick question though, can anybody find me a link where people have cut the front inner fender up? I want to see how much they are taking out.

The hood's still in the box so no pics yet. It's a Sunoco with dz fasteners. I don't know exactly how much it weighs but it's no heavier than the box it came in

I've never seen them painted before. I like the idea but they would probably get scratched up quickly from as many times as I'll be taking it off. I got the hood in a gp I think everything shipped was around $600

I've got a quick question for those of you who've done some paint work. I'm about to do the final layer of paint and clear but I want do do some fine sanding before I do. Here's the problem though, it's in my garage with tons of stuff on the floor so it's going to be hard to clean it off after I sand. Do I have any alternatives other than clearing out the garage and dragging the hose in to wash it?

Unrelated but what shocks do you run with your car? QA1s? I have double adjustable strange shocks and trying to figure out what's the best setting for the track.

blow the car off real good and clean with a solvent cleaner like prep solve or wax and grease remover. If you wet the floor down it will trap the dust to it. The paint will turn out cleaner.
Blow it off several times..
