well it's started. i rough sanded down the topcoat and i will begin the hand sanding tomorrow. filled in a lot of bumps, scratches and ridges. i couldn't feel most of them but my buddy Jim says "it has to be smooooooooth!". doing a bit every day and hope to get to pulling things off (mirrors, heads, tails, etc) this weekend and start priming the engine bonnet, backhatch and doors. i am painting it 199 (Alpine Silver Metallic).

here are a few pics of the progress-- from before i started to what it loooked like this afternoon:









it's so ugly now, it turns as many heads as the day i bought it (i know i'm an eternal optimist).

not much done these past few days. took the weekend off from the project. had two trees to cut down and some serious partying to attend to. was out last night doing some shopping. paint gun, masking, paper overalls, etc. stopping by the Sherwin-Williams paint store on my way home today to pick up primer, sealer, paint, reducer and whatever else i need. hope to prime on wednesday night and paint on the weekend.
