Some paint finally;
Update 65 days down, 25 to go; 597 hours;
today was 15 hours for me and 8 hours for craig;
we painted the stripe color on under side of hood and deck lid, used the laser level to run the pinstripes for body color, deck lid went ok. the hood for some reason was giving us fits. we decided to go ahead and finish the trunk. we figured we would start over tomorrow on hood, we had played with the stripes so much we were going to have to repaint the stripes again.
after craig left about 5;30, I had dinner and decided to get a head start on tomorrows redo of hood. sanded it and started over, and about 12 midnight finished it up with all the stripes and body, and clear coated.
here are the pics of some color finally.

just went out to turn off heaters in shop, hood looks great, flowed out perfect, not one sag or run, light sanding to remove dust nibs and minor buffing will make it about as perfect as one can expect.
