Still painting and making some more cosmetic improvements while the good weather is holding out here. Rear bumper, hatch borders, and both rear quarters got the color and/or clear treatment over the weekend. So the entire back end of the car is now all done. Moving to the front end next, doors will be last because they may need to be removed and some body work done to those first.

The factory striping on these late AMX cars goes on forever....and there's still more stripes to paint on the front spoiler if I want to make it totally right. Sometimes I wish I'd bought the $400 decal package, it would have saved me about three weeks of time! The money savings from -not- doing so, however, can be spent on the fuel system pieces before much longer. Gotta keep the big picture in mind here.

Even though my initial intention was to be reasonably thrifty about this build and see where it takes me, when I finally get this car wearing paint all over, it's occurring to me that at least I won't have to be too ashamed of it's looks. Turning out much better than I expected for a one-panel-at-a-time driveway job so far. No runs yet!
