This stupid wing was being a major pain in coming off. Out of the four screws holding it on (flat-head screws with lock washers, AAARGHH!), two were rusted solid into place. Had to drill their siwwy widdle heads off...

More on the Frankenstang Rustoleum paintjob. We didn't have enough time to get 'round to the actual rolling process tonight, but at least we got all the prep and seams/trim done - basically spraying whatever can't be reached with the roller.

So far, so good. Just need to sand down a bit of the primer in some spots, wipe it, and start the rollin' on Wednesday.

And yet again, artwork finds its way into the project... :D

I need a hood, rear bumper, and trim too. Can't afford it right now. The Capri has been there for ages so, I doubt it'll go anywhere... :D
