Bill,

Do you plan on driving it again this summer? If not then why not wait until the fall
and shoot it then. I could hardly stand it when mine was gone for 4 weeks getting
the upholstery done, so I know how you feel.

Spank, I drove mine around in gel coat and primer for three years before painting it. I'm glad I did, as I made several changes in that time that would have ruined a final paint job. Don't worry about painting it... get the mechanicals, electricals and suspension right, drive it 'til it feels right, then paint it.
