Shhhhhhhhh don't tell my doctor, but I got real friendly today with my paint gun. Not to much really. I have firmly decided on painting the car black. Had to start out with the firewall, under hood, core support etc.

Here you go.

:J -- but take care of your arm, listen to your body, Chris, and stop at the first sign of fatigue or you'll probably regret it! ;)
 
Chris..
You deserve a good congratulation on another step taken..eventually we'll be hearing you say something to the effect of..
IT LIVES ..IT LIVES..

I know you recognize your physical limitations of late and will stay within reasonable boundaries.(doctor tom speaks..ha).

That said,..

I know this sounds like a lame excuse, but I have been trying to find ways to work my physical therapy routine into my car work. Really, I am not kidding. The doctor actually wants me doing a variety of repetitive motions and push the envelope a little more each day. I feel like I did three hours worth of work today over a eight hour period. So, I think I am using my head as much as possible.

I appreciate the concern. Believe it or not, it is more painful to pull over a shirt than to swing the paint gun back and fourth a little. Who would a thunk it?

I hope to get the doors, jams, convertible lid bottom, and a few other small parts in paint by next weekend. Right now I would not attempt an all over paint until the shoulder is stronger.
