I plan to take some with the Canon when done. Crackberry in low light garage does not do it justice. Plan on adding 6 flourescent fixtures tomorrow, and plan to make 2 light stands to hold 4 fixtures each horizonatally before next project to make it easier to see what I am doing. Low light has created more touch up and rework that the cost of the lighting.

Guys... I looked really closely before sprinting through the parking lot to my truck this morning... Do you think she's biding her time hiding in the bushes until the perfect moment to strike? I'm a little nervous......


Lookin' great gdstock, and I agree with HeyYou, can't wait for some good pics!



Also, no crap-uliner will be used on my truck. that stuff is like sandpaper, and I like my knuckles with as much skin on them as possible

You're safe.....she's not going ANYWHERE until after the new grandson is here! Her car gets down to 3/4 tank of gas....and I gotta go top it off (nearly daily!)

So today I went and picked up more flourescent light fixtures to make it easier to paint (now that I am nearly done...). Bumper scheduled to arrive today - and it did.

The problem is I don't know whether to be more pi**ed at UPS OR the vendor. One end of bumber has about a 90 degree bend....grrrrrr......

Erm, that's gonna be tough to bolt onto the truck..... I find it difficult to believe that the folks originally shipped it that way. I am REAL curious how UPS managed to BEND a friggin bumper though... that's pretty creative.

I cannot believe they did not box it at least. That's the way it arrived.

I would have beat the driver if I would have been home when they delivered it. My 10 year old nephew was here when it was delivered, and HE told my sister in law that it was bent.....

So is spent some time installing new lighting in garage. It'll make painting the next one easier!
