Hey, thanks! In person it's amazing. I'm taking 1/2 days on Friday's until the end of the summer, so if you're interested in heading to the shop some day let me know. These pictures do no justice. If you saw it now, in person, you'd really be shocked.. Especially considering you saw it when it was REALLY bad.

I'm in Weymouth all week next week if you want to hook up , any day!!

The General is starting to look like himself again.......nice and solid!


PLEASE.......as a fellow Dukes fan from the good'ol days, make certain Brian gets to ride shotgun on a short run.........it behooves you to perform big, smoky donuts with that beast!

Chuck, sir, my hat's off to ya....sometimes principle is more important than any monetary gains to be had or recognition.

Somewhere, the late Denver Pyle(Uncle Jesse) is smiling down on this.....LOL

Woo Hoo!
(oh yeah...there IS going to be a full feature on this mother once it's done)

Jeff, you'll be happy to know, my fat ass will not be attempting the hood slide manuver. Between Jon and the paint guys, I'd be killed for marking the car up.

;) Don't you worry, if I haven't killed anyone in Texas I don't think I'll be killing anyone locally!!!!

Here's a quick photo update!!! He's painted!!

Ok guys, it's picture time. One disclaimer here is this car is barely dry in these shots and there's a TON of clear over the flake. It obviously hasn't been wetsanded/buffed yet, so any 'texture(orange peel)' you see will soon be gone and this thing will look like a mirror. In a few of the shots I tried to capture the appearance of the flake, but until it's out in the sun it won't be something I can capture. It looks absolutely stunning in person.

















The filters in the spray booth















TO BE CONTINUED......

Here you can see the flake close-up





They did an awesome job bagging this car up for paint. Didn't miss a spot!!











Not sure if you remember the "before" of these , but this area was destroyed:



Nice clean channels.. Unlike before where it looked like the Bondo was just smacked in there..











TO BE CONTINUED.....

Re: The Hack Job General Lee: Update, Light at the End of the Tunnel

























And a really cool old Vette they are working on. This thing will be NICE when it's done!!







That concludes today's pictures.. The next set will , more than likely, be of the car with the graphics painted on, but we'll see

Uhhh......WOW!......looks great

Re: The Hack Job General Lee: Update, Light at the End of the Tunnel

Jeff, man that's killer. You must be stoked.

It kind of sucks that (name withdrawn because he doesn't want it exposed) doesn't want the publicity for finishing this thing up in such awesome fashion, but then again, the guy has enough work to last him a lifetime anyway and he probably doesn't want the deluge of calls.

KICK ASS brother.

Seriously.. I was talking to Chuck the other day and he says "Can you imagine if you listed our shop name/number how many people would be calling?". Yeah, half would be "What's a job like that cost anyways??" and "My car's better than that, how much to finish & paint it??". So I guess I can see their point.

I've put up a few pictures of the mad scientist, but of course nothing that'll give him away. This guy is amazing, he's like Jesse James X100.
