I have it in the corner of my shop and I pick away at it a little bit here and there, but then after 4 when I close up shop I go all out on it.
Like now for instance- I just put the other side skirt on, so while the urethane is setting up ( I used 5 minute urethane on that ), I am putting the double sided tape on the door molding. You got to see the clamp setup I have holding the skirt in place, lol.
I have to get this thing out of the shop soon though, im feeling guilty not working on things that will actually make me money.
Until the wheels and front bumper go on the more the car goes back together the more it looked like it did before I took it apart, the skirts and S5 parts dont impact me THAT much right now.

thanks dudes, I have played with the fender and hood gaps on this car for an hour now, guess its only going to get so good- this aint no brand new Lexus with the ball bearing test, lol.
I ordered a bunch of clips and retainers, between those and the structural urethane im hoping to drill as little holes as possible in the body for the side skirts.

yeah the hood is really a pain! its like it has to be closed to get it right but you can tighten it until its open, which affects the adjustment!

must be nice to have this much time...
I work 6 and 7 day weeks, 10-12 hour days to be able to afford some time to myself now and then, I figure after a while I deserve it
