Well if you remember I got my car a little over a year ago and said I was going to do some detailing over last winter and planned to have it on the road by spring. Yeah right, some updated photos of the car right now. http://s814.photobucket.com/user/12bolt/library/71%20Malibu%20Restoration%20Progress?sort=6&page=1

Definitely, fortunately I don't suffer from that type of obsessive compulsive behavior. :D Which is why my car looks like a beater.

The car is looking great!


I can relate to being OCD.

I got to the point when I was about to start installing all the new fuel and brake lines and even though the frame was half way decent clean already I said I can make it better. As I went along I decided taking the rear out and exhaust only would make it easier to get into clean and paint the frame. Well here's to next spring. :beer:

Don't get me going, don't think I haven't thought about removing the rear bumper. If I knew all the frame bolts would come out with no problem it would have been off the frame.

I am so lucky that I am not OCD. With my old, dusty garage I would never leave my car alone.

Thanks for the encouragement. See I told you I was thinking about it now it will make it easier getting in there to tape and paint.

No, it's all done with Krylon spray can paint.
