Ben - don't mean to hijack but what are the dimensions of yours? I did a couple of 4 footers and a "little" 2 footer.

I'd be interested in what you tweaked on the file, too. I see you eliminated the "shadow" lines under the spars. Did you make other changes?

I know I found some opportunities to improve some of the shapes but haven't been back to working on the art stuff for a while.

Sanded 3/4 of the pan and trunk is almost done. Just have to rotate the car the other way to sand and grind the other side.. I know I keep saying primer soon and it is but prep takes along time.Attached Image

Spent 2 hours last night grinding and blending and removing old paint from wheel wells , and above where the rack is located. Installed 3 more of the plugs into the floor pans. I am missing 1 and need to find that one some where in my stash.

My son and I pulled the trans and gas tank on the 944 Saturday. Those cars are much easier to work on then I expected..

Sorry no primer yet but its coming. Removing all the "overburden" is always more time consuming then you expect.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) The suspense is killing me.

What did you wind up doing to strip paint and clean? I know you said wire brush to start. It is looking really nice!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Thought that might be the case. Those Norton discs are awesome. I bought a box (actually Black Hawk brand but I can't tell the difference) and love them. If it stops snowing long enough to put my tent up, I'll be wheeling the car out for some serious blasting and stripping.
