Guy said he would move the parts out tomorrow and roll the body in.  Still working on the hood and quarter panel extensions and the side marker holders.  If the body gets painted in the next few working days the painter said they would start putting it back together and ship it home in a week or two!   I will be so happy to see it back in the garage.

So, the body is now in the paint booth.   I was over there today and the painter showed me a little hiccup.  Seems like there was something on the car that bled thru the sealer.  If he hadn't showed it to me I wouldn't have noticed.  He was the one that cleaned it so he is pretty sure that it was nothing he left behind.  It's a funny blemish, a line from the front of the quarter that goes about half way back.  We speculated that when the car was being carried to the shop something that was thrown off another car (oil, gas, windshield fluid, who knows??) hit the car and ran back.  It really looked like something liquid ran back on the top surface.  It didn't show up till the sealer was sprayed.  Anyway, the painter is going to sand that part down and reseal and take another look.  If that doesn't work it will have to be taken down to bare metal again  (oh my wallet!!)  If the sanding works he will spray color tomorrow.   Then, later, spray the hood, quarter extensions and the side marker pieces.

This is not the end of the paint story.  The car still needs color sanding and buffing.   The painter said that he could keep the car thru the shops relocation or send it home to me.  He recommended that it come home for a while and let the paint cure really well.  It wouldn't be in any danger of being banged up during the moving process.   That worked for me because I was worried that I could scratch or ding the car while I was putting it together. This way he would have a chance to fix any damage I might do.  Also it gives me a chance to do some assembly on it. He said that they would pick it up later and return it to the new shop for the "cut and buff" (that right term?)   It does have some small bits of trash sitting on the paint and some orange peel that should come right out.   Since they transport for free I went along.  

Right now it sits with 3 coats of color and 3 of clear.

Oh, and they didn't do a very good job of putting it back together because the gaps are all messed up so I get to go thru that again, yeah!
