Thanks Steve...  I will re-size and post the pictures as soon as I receive them.  I guess Greg is still cleaning up Blue Thunder after the paint job... from what he said beforehand, there was going to be a lot of areas masked off during the painting process to insure that there was no unintended over-spray.  I believe that Greg will writeup a summary of how he painted the car.... but like many of you, I am mainly waiting for the "purdy" pictures...  :yesnod:

I will try calling him again soon...  :cheers:

Thanks Brian!  I am still absolutely amazed at the job you did on your Daytona in a very short period of time... well, at least my C500 is finally getting there (not that it will be running anytime soon).   It has probably been 40 years or more since it was this blue & shiny...  :coolgleamA:

Thanks!  I do expect to be cruising this winter...  in the 2009 Challenger, assuming I don't take it apart before then!  :P

I received about 20 more pictures from Greg, taken before the C500 was painted.  I will post some of them tomorrow after resizing, etc.   Below is a screen shot of the thumbnails for the new pics...

I am posting one picture showing the area that Blue Thunder has been staying in apparently has a strict feathered neighborhood association (see posted sign in pic below), so my "Road Runner 500" has had to adapt...  ;)  :icon_smile_big:
