Post away. When we talk of the COG site we almost always call it 'that other forum'. We're not being malicious it's kind of an inside joke.

Sounds like the natives are getting restless here eh, soon guys, soon...  ;)
 
I spoke to the painter on Monday and they had everything prepped and were getting ready to primer, should be seeing some green in the pics soon enough hopefully and I'll definately post em up.
 
I'm hoping for being done this Friday but am not holding my breath.  :-\

It's already posted on here towards the beginning of the thread, no need to post it again, thanks.
Oh, and by the way, that is not what mine will look like, totally different color green and that guy did a crappy job with the badges and wheels etc IMO...  ;)

I just went back to the first page of this thread and skimmed every page and I do not see a pic of a green C14. Wait, was it behind contestant #1? If it was that could explain what happened. If it isn't there, then can someone spell it out for me reaeeaaallllll sloooooooww, because I missing it.

Sorry guys, looks like no primered pics for today, hopefully tomorrow...  :'(
 
I guess when it got to the primer guy he sent a couple parts back to the body guys to fine tune a couple pieces for sanding...
 
Oh well, as I told them tonight, please don't rush it, take your time and make it perfect!  :) :thumbs: :chugbeer:

Progress...  :)
 
Getting exciting, all the prep work is completed and all the parts got primered this morning, should be seeing some green being sprayed within the next couple days...
