Yea, I bought an Iwata paint gun and went at it. And if you are like me it turns out marginally ok out of the gun, but then you cut and buff it for a week or so and it can be fairly flat and shiny. I read a quote before that said "buffers win car shows not painters", I now understand that comment.

Thanks, the bodywork and paint took many many more hours than it would have an experienced guy, but I just kept working on it until I thought I couldn't make any further improvements.
How do we get preggers when I am in the garage? IIRC, I think she made me come inside one night to shower and then proceeded to take advantage of me...

So true. Its fun to turn a few heads... The other side of that equation though; the second time I drove it, one of the cities finest turned right around to follow me back through town, didn't pull me over but probably checked that I was registered and insured, good thing I was. I haven't had a speeding ticket for at least 15 years, hopefully I can keep that streak going
