Please forgive my lack of knowledge, but didn't you say you baked the paint? I would have thought after baking, the paint would be set and ready for reassembly!?!?!?

Technically yes it should be dry enuf. But, I sparayed 3 coats of clear instead of the normal 2 coats . Plus it's just better to be safe than sorry . The clear can marr or ever wrinkle from pressure applied by a part like a wheel opening trim or door handle etc.

Not to mention the fact that I flat out need a break.

November 30th - Tear down begins...
February 11th - Finish Paint...
Total days = 73

Actual working days is probably less than 15... as you do have another 'job'... 

Impressive as always Brian!

Your diligence and attention to detail are second to none.
