Progress is Made!!!!....The Car is 100% Preped and Primed now!!!...The Interior Door Panels,Trunk Insulation and everything is removed...all the door Jambs are sanded too.....This is a complete Change of Color Job!!!...The masking and paper work is also in place....The Engine Bay is masked off so every inch can be done properly.....The Painting will begin a 5 pm today!! I will of course be there to watch it happen.....I would expect to have the car back by Wednesday of next week....This is due to all the stuff that has to be put back on the car...and partly due to my crazy job schedule.......Allen:nuts:

Wow

Sounds like Allen has been pretty cool considering! Wow, what a job, where were you in my life when I was trying to find a pro like you?? I decided instead of an older 72 to go new! I am the proud new owner of a beautiful new CV...

Way to go Allen, hats off to you and your determination!!

Victoria

I've been here all along!!!

Hi Victoria...What a befitting and beautiful name!!!.....The car is still not ready yet....I just got back from the Paint Shop about 10 minutes ago......The guys will be hitting it again tonight....The debris in the shop from the sanding of other cars has created a comprimising enviroment , that would hurt the final result. A base coat of Black paint has been applied so far. I got off from my job early this morning (TGIF). Needless to say did not sleep well pondering thier progress......The Motor project has slowed to a crawl with the exception of the logistical build-up....My once 180HP P72 will be up in the neighborhood of 300 HP once all is said and done......For now my 93 P71 soldiers on in great fashion......I think it's great that you have bought a New CV...What Model did you get????... What Color, Etc????......To bad we could have not spoken sooner.....any Lady that appreciates nice cars like you obviously do is worth knowing!!!.....Thanks for your interest in my adventure.......Allen

Impressed

Well, Allen...you sure are a sweetheart! You made me blush!

I guess I was destined to drive a VIC!!
I was toying with the idea of a restored police car, but it is too much for me to keep up with while working so often!

I bought the 2001 Crown Vic LX, she's a beauty! 4.6 L, V8 engine, w/ 229 HP...prrrr and I went with Arizona Beige Clearcoat (metalic). I was eyeballing Silverfrost, but the AZ Beige is beautiful....And I love it. See, everything happens for a reason. If I listened to my ex-coach, I would have probably bought someone elses problems...plus, new is nice!!~

I needed a lift, a new start, ya know? A new beautiful CV helped!!

I read the work you have been doing...wow, you must be extremely patient, but I am certain that sometimes the long run is worth the agony!

I'm with the others...pictures!! You can have a local print shop scan them on a disk if you don;t have access to a scanner!

We'll be waiting! And thanks for your interest as well... ;-}
