I loaded the body onto my trailer today. On Monday morning I'll be bringing it down to the paint shop in Salem. I'll be golfing tomorrow morning and its supposed to rain starting around noon. I did not want to load it up in the rain. So its off to the paint shop on Monday. Quite a milestone! My painter friend tells me he will be hunting every weekend while deer season is open untill he bags one. So I'll be rooting for him to get a Black Tail this weekend! But as soon as he gets his deer he'll put the car into his paint booth. The plan now is HOK Kandy Brandywine with HOK Galaxy Grey Metalic stripes. That Galaxy grey is a spot on match for the Summit Carbon Fiber Metalic that I have a few items in the cockpit painted, ie, cup holders, oh sh*t handle, and E brake handle. The only fly in the ointment might be if he looks over my prep job and finds it "wanting". In which case I'll drag it home with my tail between my legs, and do what ever he needs to make it right and up to his prep standards.

Saw HOK Kandy Brandywine on a car at the Ohio show this year. Out of 170+ Cobras there, my wife and I both picked that color as the standout. My kit arrives next week. That's the color I will ultimately go with. The car I saw at the show went with a gold stripe. It worked well with the red, just wouldn't be my choice. Right now I'm thinking no stripe. Congrats on heading to paint. That's got to be one of the most exciting steps in the process.

If so it's one of mine and FYI is PPG Deltron Lexus Brandywine, not HOK.

That is one awsome paint job. Its no wonder your booked out 2 years. I think my friend Lance from Aloha Oregon might be on your list. If I was'nt so darn impaitent I'd be on it too. My family coat of arms crest says "ME-MY-MORE-NOW-!! :D, But I'm also happy with the local guy in Salem. He's done a few jobs for me and he's great at what he does and is fair in his pricing
