Yeah its a ton of fun. This is my first time doing body work, metal work, painting, etc. The only thing is that it wears you out. We don't start working on it till about 9 each night and we usually get done around midnight. Sometimes we go till 1 or 2. I'm used to getting a lot more sleep than that; everyone at work is wondering why I am always so tired. I will be glad when it is finished so I can catch up. But it is all worth it.

Thanks for the compliments guys. We started this only planning on a basic job, but quickly realized we didn't want it to look like ****. Plus the guy who is doing the painting is in a farely new business and he wants to turn out some quality work to get his name out. So far I am very impressed.

Its looking real nice, and yeah as soon as you start on a task you find many little other things that will make the car look even better. Good job on pulling everything out and I know it is really hard work but it will all be worth it in the end.

The trunk, roof, hood, and the jams are cleared, but my guy made a mistake and didn't realize we were out of hardener. So it will be finished on Monday. Let me tell you though, it looks so nice. I love this color, especially when done aftermarket. Its so much better than the stock Si paintjobs.
