I have started to sand my front end and everything is well and good but it needs some serious work where i took off the chrome trim (don't worry i got new chrome to put back) a lot of sanding around the bumper area but it is a good work in progress and the progress is steady. I would like to get my car done before summer's end (before i have no time with school starting) but it will be tough with complete painting and body work and new spacers on the passenger side front end. I am really hoping my paint matches well but we'll see. I am excited because my product in a few weeks could be pretty much my final product before i start driving it...

So today i spent all day sanding and practically sanded my thumb print off in the process, any way, one more solid day of sanding and i should be ready for paint. The process is going smoothly and i haven't ran into anything out-of-the-ordinary and many parts are ready for paint but the grooves where the chrome strips go is making for some big trouble and hard sanding but I'm gonna spend the time and make it right (whether the chrome will cover it or not)
