Thanks Ryan...I feel better about it with the booth, I have it set up with the 2 fans with filters mounted at top on one side for air in, and 1 fan + 2 filters on the bottom on opposite side for exhaust, keeps a bit of positive pressure so nothing gets sucked in, and should keep me alive;) everything is setup and ready to go. Im using the same DBC base with DC4000 clear. It was mid 50's out when I got home today, but it should be sunny and 70's tomorrow:):):)

That was a bit uncalled for Ken. All he did was ask where the pictures were.........:3d_frown:

Dont' worry Dave, I got your back. I can't believe Ken would be so mean. Maybe the paint fumes got to him. How did the paint turn out Ken?........;)

I shot the hatch and targa with base and stopped. I was pisssed at first but i'm over it. Minor setback:x:

I got talking to the new owner that bought our dealership this morning, and he also owns a large body shop. He offered to let me have a couple of his best guys do it on the side. Very cool of him! I talked to them today and if all goes well, it will be Saturday the 22nd. Two guys are going to help me, or more like I help them. The body is going in one booth, and all the parts in another booth and bang it all out at once. I'm also pulling off the doors so all the jams get done right. It will be the one thing I haven't done on my own on the car , but at least they're cool and I get to be a part of it. Not to mention I feel a lot better about it after all that $$ on materials, and the time it would take me if I screw up.
