Get a GMP model of the chp car! look way cool with your car!

My car is gone...
 

...or so I thought. When I came into the back of the shop today, Bacon wasn't there (yes, Debbie named my SSP "Bacon").

The rough-in bodywork is finished, and they moved the car up to the final prep area. This is where the detailed finishing of the car will take place. The car is nowhere close to being ready for primer (yet), although most of the body panels that have been removed are prepped and primered.

Here is the driver's door awaiting prep & primer -

Here is the view from the back. It's nice to see the car sitting back on all four tires!

Here is a shot of the much-massaged passenger 1/4 panel -

And here is a picture of the car sitting in the new bay of the shop -

There is still quite a bit of detail work to be completed, but Bacon has at least moved into the next phase of the body work.

Looking good!!

We Got a Full Tank of Gas, a Half a Pack of Cigarettes, It's Dark and We're Wearing Sun Glasses

Lol! the Blues Brothers Mobile!

Progress is evident!

After several weeks of the car only making minor progress, the shop had some time available to hammer out some work on Bacon. When I came into the shop today, my SSP was no longer in bare metal - it's now black! My first thought was "Shoot - I didn't even get to see the car in primer!"

The car was in the process of being rubbed out, and all I had in-hand was my cruddy camera phone -

I will be bringing in the side moldings tomorrow, which will be painted along with the bumper moldings. I have to install the new taillight lenses into the stock housings tonight I guess, since they are getting so far along now (that's a good problem!).

Next time I will bring my better camera!

That's looking nice!

Coming along very nice....

Thanks guys!

Space was tight today, and my camera batteries died after only 3 pictures. Strong backlighting and direct sunlight made it difficult to get good picture quality too. But here are a few more shots with a better camera showing the car all rubbed out -

It's nice to finally see paint on the car that actually reflects an image (the old gray was dull). I am very happy with their work thus far. I did notice a couple of very minor things, but nothing worth having them re-do the car. They are now prepping the removed parts, and should have them painted soon. Most of the window trim has been stripped and polished too. The side moldings were dropped off today for prep & paint (best described as matte black). The windshield cowl panel and side mirror buckets will also be painted a matte black.

It's so nice to see the car coming along!

The car is looking great!!!
