I stopped by the body shop today to take some pictures of the progress. Ric hopes to shoot the car Monday and reassemble it Tuesday or Wednesday. He still has to cut the custom hood before paint, and fix my TSB for the window scratching too. Also, since he already pulled all of the door panels, I took them with me to add new leather to the inserts. That should be fun! They did dent the door when pulling the window trim, but I trust they will fix it before paint so MEH!

How do they prevent the window scratching? My side windows are practically white from scratching. I know what causes it but how is it fixed?

If you send me your email I will send you the info how to. You will have to replace your glass though after the repair.

This thing is going to look good! the kit looks like its went on good and thats some pretty quick progress for all that. good shop. have fun reupholstering your door panels, I had my interior stripped doing that when I had my wreck, the how-to helps a lot but it just doesnt capture how much of a pain in the ASS it is... I will say, hot glue and a drimmel are your friends ;)

Uh, oh, looks like I'm gonna get out-scooped :cry: shouldn't take much lol

From your photo, huh? Hey, who was that artist that painted all those weird looking people -- turns out he had astigmatism and that's the way he actually saw them. No worries, all will be well ;)
