Default bodyshop updates

so my stangs in the bodyshop right now, i went in yesterday and took some pictures of how she looks. heres what shes at right now. couple days and she'll be in primer. I'm leaving it in the primer while i do my own custom work to her. paint comes next year when i can afford a decent paintjob.

I wouldn't suggest priming it then painting it a year later, primer absorbs moisture which can cause many problems with the primer and your future coat if left un-painted. That's why they always say to do it in one go vs. waiting

looks real good. reminds me of my own experience.

Well, if they haven't primed the car yet, you can always get them to prime it with the primer that doesn't absorb moisture (I forget what it's called) then you should be good.
