i printed out an 11 x 17 image og the sample shown, with my paint selections, etc, & gave em' to two different painters,..
The second guy is Jazzed ready to go,. and the way i see it enthusiasm is 50% of the whole job.
Waiting for feeddback on his schedule.

going to paint shop tomorrow
for what it's worth to anyone:
The 41 is heading to the Paint shop tomorrow after work for it's new dress up colors.
I gave a 11 X 17 full color photograph of the truck w/ paint codes, instructions, and my budget figure. ( see attached, ok well don't ) , to the painter two weeks ago to kind of psyche him up some. They seem jazzed about my color choices and my design....
Reinstalled the hood tonight, had ( KC )Welding Plus, repair any hood hinge metal tears,
checking out the fit & reveal spacings.
Very Stressful , exciting, clean out the glove box, remove the wipers, the passenger peep mirror, tons of Little detail stuff that will pay Big dividends in the end, hopefully the pocketbook & results.
This is all new so I'll just enjoy it , beats the options.
I'll miss carrying around a can of primer and cardboard for those 'on the fly ' touch ups !
but ' I'm as ready as Betty ' no offense to anyone .

well I decided to do another mod to gain max travel of bars past the intended travel points just for that peace of mind. 1/8 inch is to close so now I'll have 1/2" or better. I cut a 3/16" wall...
