Well I took my girl to the body shop for paint today. I come home and see the empty 3rd garage bay, now I know how "empty nesters" feel!

I'm hoping that she's done by Christmas, but this is one of those things you don't want to press too hard for.

I've got the new Carrera tail/engine lid which will get put on in the process, but I'm having my old lid painted also. Additionally, I've got a new standard valance (courtesy of Pelican Parts!) going on, but I've got another one with the second exhaust cutout getting painted also, in case I go to a dual out muffler.

Since I'm travelling the next 2 weekends, this seemed like the right time to send her in. I hope that she's out by Xmas, as I can always find a few things to do (valve adjustment, etc) while I take some time off work.
