Me Too!!!! Every step has been exciting and I think the paint is going to be way cool....

Well... if it doesn't look cool we can always spray it satin black afterwards.

**doghows** · January 23rd, 2013, 03:22 PM

WOW, great read Now I know I cant do my Futura that well nor do i have the cash to do so, But as i sat here reading it does make me jealous.

Thanks and welcome to the site.
This has been a 4 year project so far and believe me I didn't think I could do it either. I have never done anything like this before, but with a lot of help and encouragement form these guy's she is almost done. This is by far one of the best groups of guys to help with any troubles or issues. I live over in Sequim and several members have made numerous trips over to help out when I am in need. (Or maybe just for Lauries food?) Can speak highly enough about everyone. So don't be afraid to jump in and get it done the club will always be around to help. Just don't let me get to close with power tools..

Look forward to meeting you at one of the shows or a tech day.

Nice choice of color, it's going to look great steve....jh

Worked down at the body shop all weekend. Got all the last fit and finish done. Then blew the car back apart again. (20th time) Sand all the door jams and the tailgate. I think she is ready for the last coat of primer, then wet sand, then off to sealer and finally paint!!!
Who would have thought how much work goes into a paint job... It better be worth it. Hopefully still finish her in time to get out to some events and shows this year.

I hope so too!

We were talking about you at the meeting last night. Were your ears burning? What is happening in Steveland?

Also, sent you a PM, but have not heard back. Are you on vacation?

**doghows** · March 21st, 2013, 03:30 PM

Returned your PM. Steve land is in the same old situation of car at a paint shop and nothing being done on it.. Seems the only time any work gets done is if I go there and help or cattle prod the painter.. I think 3 or 4 days of solid work and it could be painted. I am going there Friday night and Saturday morning and put my foot down, its time to get it done. I have all the parts at home for final assembly and Laurie is ready to feed us now all I need is the car back..
I am pushing to be in color and back to my house by end of April or I'll bring it home and paint it 777.....
