I was wondering the same thing. Also, not sure laying any cover/tarp over fresh automotive paint is ever a good idea. So I will guess the above pics were more so for effect and your painters are smarter than that.

This car is in Iowa at the Hurricane shop. Jason works on the car most of the time buy himself. I speak with Jason in the mornings and in the afternoon after I see the pictures from the days assembly. I have also spent a couple weekends in the shop with him. With basically what is a new car, I wanted to show the whole process, not just the finishing of the kit at my house. Some times the guys on the forum can be pretty critical and I want to show all the steps for everyone to see. If it passes the test here then it should be good to go!
A lot of time was taken getting ready to build so the build would go smoothly. I think the kit would go together in anyones shop pretty smoothly but it helps when you have a guy working on the project everyday! I am going to get the car next week and finish the assembly here in Illinois.

Dean, your right, I was just being dramatic. Here is a shot of the paint.

These are the pictures that I love to see. I saw the factory car when I was in Iowa 2 weeks ago and it looks awesome. The paint work was just fantastic. The body will be mounted to the chassis early next week. This is what it looks like today.

Whoa, is that black car a Hurricane street roadster? No side pipes, awesome.

One thing I've noticed is that the Hurricane has a correct street roadster stance, just awesome.

If you can attack a new paint job with sandpaper and a buffer less than 24 hours after it's shot, putting a loose cover on it to keep it clean and protected in the shop won't hurt anything.
