May I ask what you do for a living? You seem to be pumping a huge amount of cash into this car lately. I'm doing my project and I'm trying to pace myself. My budgets jumped from 12k to a possibly more realistic 15k in a matter of days. And theres going to be a wait between spraying and engine. But your just powering through it all. On the plus side you did do the painting yourself. Car looks good, its come a long way since the original paint job. But Argh I still wish you'd take those trims off haha.
