Tell me about it, This kid has been in rx7's since the day I met him. I was on my second Fd in 1999 when I met his mother. We were married the week before Rotorfest 2003. I even cut my honeymoon short one day to get back in time to drive up to Rotorfest. My wife & I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary earlier this month.

Engine rebuild down time 2004

This wise *** now thinks he is getting this car....

NO.  

So after the car was prepped, the worst of the dents filled and sanded down through 240/400 grit it's ready to be primed. I put on 4 good coats here...

The fenders look good so far. They do need some more acrylic fill and block sanding before i get ready to seal them.

Well for better of for worse I have been absolutely swamped with work these past three weeks. This has prevented me from making any real progress with the car. I marked today (Sunday) off to get time in on the car. I have worked the past three Saturday's and Sunday's combined so this we necessary. 

So the most notable thing for this post is the brand new PFSupercars bumper. I called Ray and he had a new bumper made just for me.... I feel special Raymond. I ixnayd on the stock bumper and was happy to get the new jonta! 

Here Is what is left of the old one after I snaked all of the mounting hardware off of it...
