Robs work looks good but the macco special is hard to beat. But you have to keep going back and eventually do it yourself. My brother and I have to do some repainted areas that started flaking and do a new clear coat, damn cheap paint job. I can't wait to see this project done, it looks bad ***.

I added some glass to reinforce the bumper from the backside, only added it in certain areas that I felt were prone to crack and to add more where it bolts up, this part of the project does not photograph well, but I will try to take some pics of it later in the week anyhow.
I ended up having to grind away the hood and bumper line so that was why I needed to add glass yet again.

block sanded the primer today, thats about 90% done, then I will spray more primer on, first coat of primer was applied mixing it as a filler-primer, next coat will be as a sealer primer, it will be smoother then the filler method. Filler primer allows you to block the car down with paper that is course enough to actually smooth out the bodywork and surface imperfections a bit. The sealer primer lays down smooth and provided a better foundation for paint, the smoother the body is, the better the paint job comes out. Its all in the prep.
After primer is applied, then the doors, hatch and hood will come off, jambs will be sprayed, engine compartment sprayed, doors hung back on, and topcoats applied.
you can also see where the fenders were trimmed for the FC2000 front bumper.

I believe this coming monday rob said he might throw on the last coat of primer, I could be wrong tho, so hopefully some in color pics will be coming shortly 
. I have to go up by him and drop off some plexi and some greenbacks, so hopefully i can see it in person.
