Sorry - I missed where you said you used 2K How easy does that make life? Ive used 2K a few times.. cheat a little and on the last coat put extra clear with it to bring out the gloss. I love the glasurit paint, fantastic brand. This will look killer in person.
How long till you start peiceing it back together?

Yeh mate ive still got a little bit of work to do on straightening the rest of the panels, as theyre not quite ready yet. bonnet and boot are ready to go, just gotta run over the doors again an check their good. The painters want a decent amount of stuff to do all at once so they dont have to fire up the booth a few times; keeps the cost down for me. Soon as the cars home next ill be starting to put it back together, starting with the wiring and all the usual jazz.
An yeh i can guarantee you it looks epic in person

at the time I hadnt finished blocking the front doors, im sortof getting stuff done bits at a time with the painters to get it done cheaper. so like im doing all the prep work then I send the panels down when i finish em. hopefully end of this week all the panels (bar the bonnet which needs a fair bit more smoothing work) will be all back on the car
doors guards and calais pop-ups done!
next is to paint the black sections around the windows. hopefully if weathers nice might find some time this weekend if im lucky. but all is going steadily ahead. not the fastest build but im happy its progressing lol
