Awesome Job Ted. What were you sitting on in the red car with no windshield? You make the car look small.
I see your fans and the paint on the floor. How did the paint come out. I had a problem with fish eyes prepping mine. I don't know if it was in the air or on the car. It looks great from here.

Re: can everyone post a pic of their spider?
Brady,
I was sitting on a milk crate and it does look a little like a small clown car.
Fans, That is my wall of fans that goes in to the side door of the garage. The fans were used to make a down draft paint booth. What you can't see is the plastic sreens that make up two sides of the paint boot. The other sides were the garage door and one side of the garage itself. The two plastic screens were hung from cables about 2' from the ceiling and weighted down with 2x4, the air would flow over the top of the screens and out the bottom gap of the garage door.
As for fish eyes, no problem, fly legs yes!

Nice looking car. Does the fog lights interfere with the hood opening?

Re: can everyone post a pic of their spider?
No, they didn´t. When the hood is open, it goes very close over the ligths, but without touch them.Does the fog lights interfere with the hood opening?
