Body shop hates me

I think the guys in the body shop must hate me now.
Took the Z in for the install of the new Carbon Fiber hood and the C5R headlights. They were anticipating about 3 hours work. They got started about 9:30 am....worked straight through (I was there a lot of the time) and finished up at 5:40pm
Thank heavens I already had a firm bid for the work before they started

Looks excellent though!!!

Mike, I'm rather embarrassed to say this but I don't have a digital camera except the "snapshot' feature on my Sony camcorder. (plus it was already very dark outside by the time I got it home)
It goes back in to MCRacing on Monday for the rest of the work. Maybe I can get a quick pic with the camcorder tomorrow.

I was also taking pics with my Sony camcorder but the resolution is not the best. I'll be placing my order today for the Canon Powershot A80.

Looking forward to the pics Mike.

Ok, I just want you yahoo's to know what a pain in the butt it's gonna be to take a pic of the Z today.......

My better half is outta town so I'm here alone. I've got no reverse so I'm gonna half to push the Z outta the garage and hope I can climb back into it before it rolls all the way down the driveway, across the street and into a ditch. I've gotta charge the batteries in the Sony and I've gotta clean the Z up a little bit.
You still think it is worth all that to get a pic.......

btw, the hood is the MotorCity CF hood

Mike

Of course it is all worth it. We want pics and we don't have to do any of the work. Just sit in the drivers seat with the door open and push the car with your left foot.

No reverse? You didn't want that option?
