I got to see it out in the sun yesterday when they moved it from one shop to another... and the color just GLOWS now. It's gonna look incredible when I get some polish on it.

Right now I'm trying to get everything together to detail the engine compartment as soon as it comes back.

No more dirty car for me.

Getting even closer... hopefully will have it back by the weekend... in case you're wondering, the paper on the nose is there to protect it from being scratched up while they align all of the body panels.

Once it's done it goes for color sanding and final finishing.

I was just noticing how dusty the engine bay is. Can you imagine if Todd ever had to take his SS in to the body shop? He'd be hanging around all day opening & closing things for the shop guys just to keep all that dust out.
