I am painting the Bird this upcoming week

[03mach1]

I have a friend whos dad I am great friends with is going to help me complete it this week. we are going to nock this car out in two days none stop body work and have it painted the next week. I am so excited. I have all the supplies to do it, I will post picks of the process it goes through, and the final stages right before it gets its final coat of paint. I am either going to take it to Maaco or Miracle auto body to get it painted. we are even going to take the hood and trunk off and maybe the doors for sanding and repainting. we are also going to sand down the wheel wells and paint them. I am so excited for this. I made up my mind what kind of paint I want which will be SS paint of the original color. I have to do one more patch to complete the major work. I will post pics when I get it started on Friday.

I have a vid coming soon of it, it will have the entire process sped up by three or four times so it will be a elapsed time vid of the car, it is almost done just the finishing touches are required, like the door jambs and trunk jamb and tiny little dents that are still visible in some areas but I will touch them up by sanding them and put a little more body filler on it, and under the hood but I am going to paint that a separate time when I paint the motor. but the vid will be up today hopefully. depends how much more I can get done today. we spent spent a total time in hours from start to almost complete would be 20hrs of total work into it in the past two days. the first night we worked till 1p.m to 10:30p.m and the next day we worked 10:30 a.m to somewhere around 8 p.m. There were a total of three of us working on the car, me my friend's dad and his son worked on it, I give huge thanks to both of them for the big help to get it done.
