The car came back from paint yesterday, Thursday 1/16/14. It looks fabulous. Body Works Custom applied the decals from Phoenix Graphics and also installed new weatherstripping from 1AAuto. It's amazing how much better the car looks now.
It's 2014 now and it's hard to believe I've owned the car for a little over two years now. With the paint done, my goal is to be back on the road by the end of summer. There is still a long way to go -- but I feel like I'm at the the tipping point of being able to start to re-assembling things.
