Same here. Can't wait to see the whole thing back together.
What are your plans for the bumper/grill?

So far it looks great! Nice color combo.

You are a talented `man, and I wish I could paint like that,
4- Sure.

I too work at a body shop. I do the majority of the painting there. I would have to say painting is the best job you can do in a body shop. For me it is stress relief because you can be in the booth and the paint room all by yourself and you dont have to deal with the boss or any customers. Plus the results are more satisfying than with regular body work. Im a senior in high school right now. I go to votech for collision repair and I will be going to wyotech in the fall. Working during highschool had to be the best way to get a jumpstart on your future career. I love my job now and my boss keeps trying to talk me into staying and working for him instead of going to school but I have to turn him down. Gotta get out there in the real world and get that experiencebefore I think about settling down at one shop. Well its nice to see another bodyman/painter here on the forum. I still cant wait to see that monte out in the sun.
