    Andrew, you need to be more positive. Snow is a negative entity as far as our cars are concerned. Besides, this stuff needs to all melt soon.

    Very nice! I would love to see the rear shot to check out the Skyline tail-lights.

    They completely straightened out the 18 years of wear on the body, all of the small dings and dents that accumulate that you really never notice. Then they worked on the trunk lid, it never really closed properly after the custom work for the tails, had to slam it shut.

    I am very happy with the paint. I am not really happy with the taillights. They did some work on them and now they do not fit as well as I had them fitting before. I will have to fix it. I think it will be a simple fix. the trick is not messing the paint. I will have it done by Automotive Day at MATC.

    and after, there is a small gap on the drivers side light and they don’t pull in flush.

    And rain, glorious rain. This is the only time I year I will say that. I am happy with a drought in the summer, but right now….melt this stuff.

    Agreed. I’ll take an overcast, rainy 45 degree day over a sunny, cold, 15* day this time of year. Granted, the ravine behind my new house will be flowin’ like the mighty mississippi this spring, but I don’t care. I want my house finished, I want to move out this apartment, I want to be outside, I want to drive cool and fast cars again!

    This time of year if it does snow, it won’t last that long.

    For those of you who have not had enough shoveling yet, we get another opportunity.

    Hopefully this is the last of it before the real spring kicks in! icon_cheers.gif
