Yeah - the anticipation is killing me too. What's worse is Keith (n2billet) will see them before I do! There's too many trucks in his shop .. I just hope they make it out of there at some point.

Dad and I have worked quite a bit on my fenders and hood. I have searched the US over to find good GM metal .. so I'm hoping it comes out ok. The fenders seem really solid and we've managed to work 99.9% of the flaws out. The goal being zero bondo / filler anywhere in it. I feel like it will need small spots of glaze but nothing significant anywhere to speak of. I used the 'marker' technique on most of it. Came out really, really neat man. It's an easy way to block bare metal fenders without getting any sort of build on them. The marker just serves as a guide coat giving you dark spots and metal .. just like you're blocking primer. I want to bring the metal up completely flat then glaze if needed, Epoxy, PPG K38 for the first build pass to reduce shrinkage, K36 for the 320/400/500 stages and by that time it should be pretty slick.

Hugger Orange is still haunting me guys .. We'll see. Next would be Blue, Red, Black, White or Silver. I'm so confused. It's slick enough to go black but my bodwork skills are probably not up to it. I hear it's bad to try black on your first ever paint job.
