Hi Ed and Chris! Thanks for the reply. It's been a slow process since we picked her up, but I'm all settled in Maryland now, and I finally have everything in my garage to finish it, including the car. Thanks for the tips on the paint. I did buy the 85 degree reducer, anticipating the warmer weather and reading about the added heat generated for the turbine. With the little bit I spent practicing before the car came down, I think I will do okay with it. I also have a Saleen Mustang front air dam for my brother Joe to paint, so more practice. I will do all the metal parts as well, before I even attempted the body. I was going with the one stage thinking chips in the paint would be easier to fix. I didn't know it was the opposite. I'm going to leave Dad's brake job as is. I have to run to work now, but I will be in touch with you guys on the phone to catch up. Thanks again!
