Yep, I keep trying to get points at the cross walk but the joggers are starting to recognize my truck and are sprinting across now.

Ha I hit someone with my bicycle when I was 12 at that crosswalk if that counts. I live really close to you then, and I knew I've driven by a couple times and saw that Z in the garage and wondered who it was.

That's the 1st thing I saw... JN just because you have a very large limp doesn't mean that you get to start acting black. Also the Fargo Force are a bunch of assholes, why do you rep them?

On another note when are you going to post up pics of your car since its been redone?

Oh, and even tho the exhaust is coming out of the side of the front fenders, you should still have a fartcan or two out back.

Your camera does make it look like photoshop.

Fortunately his opinion falls under the "I dont give a shit" category.

Total cost primer, sealer, paint, booth, labor. $600 (excluding my time doing body work and my time spraying primer).
Pretty cheap. I decided to have Guy spray it in Lloyds booth since my garage is covered under a foot of primer dust and I cant wash it due to the weather. 3 little nibs. I really like it. Was HVLP 2 pass 50% overlap with SEM Hot Rod single stage over global sealer. It should look good going down the track slightly behind Bill, Dave and Matt.

Who is this guy and does he paint misc. parts like hoods for cheap too?

His name is Guy, he is the painter at Lloyds auto in Moorhead. He wont do body work but will do final prep and painting. His rate is $25 an hour and the booth fee is $250 for a car, probably less for just a hood. He is an excellent painter and has been spraying for over 25 years. He will work weekends and is extremely fast. Total spray time on my car was under 2 hours for sealer and 2 coats. I can pm you his cell number if you want to talk to him about your paint. Progressive is really great for hoods and smaller jobs.

You dont cut or buff satin paint, that would defeat the purpose.
