Well, I got the car delivered to my house on Friday. I'm going to go ahead and fix it and keep on driving it.

Does anyone know the answers to the following questions:

I assume OEM body panels come primed, is this correct?

Better to paint then install or vice-versa? Do they blend paint even across seams, or is there enough visual separation there that they don't bother?

I may just go ahead and repaint the entire car. If I do, Randy won't like it.

I'm going to need a few parts, but if I'm taking the time and money to do it, I think I'll go with new body panels and lights. I also need to look through my personal parts stash before I start shopping.

Tom, I may be interested in that front clip. I'll send you a PM after I start tearing the car apart.
