haha I didn't even think about that.

That stuff is actually done. I'm going to work on the interior tonight.

I installed the rear interior last night. It took about an hour and a half.

The lower rear valance (body part below the rear bumper) is now painted as of last night. The black top of the doors and black between the rear windows should be painted in the next two days. Once that is done, I can start to put the seals, emblems, door handles, mirrors, etc. back on.

While I install parts, the painter will be painting the bumpers first then painting the hood, front valance, etc.

The door locks need to be installed but were still wet when I left so I couldn't get them in. We repaired the left tail light (it was cracked). We made a good one out of two. The tail lights and center panel are now in for good. The license plate brackets are also painted.

The rear bumper, head light buckets, head light lids, hood hinges, and hood latch were ready for color when I left.
