Slicksand

November 21, 2017 -

  This process has taken longer than I thought it would but the reasons are 1) there was a line of cars in front of me at Whitby's and 2) there are numerous coats of sanding, primer, sanding, more primer, etc. all before the numerous layers of paint go on and in between each layer are several weeks of curing. That's the only way Jeff at Whitby's says it'll come out great if great is what you want. I figure I'm not in a rush. They sent me this photo of my car's body in their paint room at the point of "slicksand."

Transport To Paint

April 18, 2017 -

  Here's me taking the car down to Greensboro, NC to get the body work and paint done at Whitby's. I got a UHaul trailer and was able to make it down and back in one day! Thanks to mom for the use of her truck.

  I didn't want to leave Whiskey home alone all day so I took her along for the ride. She napped most of the time.

  Here's me and my car down at Whitby's in the garage area. (There's a whole other building for paint and machining parts.)

  Mine is the left one a little further back with the box of parts on it.
