Thanks everyone.
I've got everything on except the side scoops and the front bumper. Now I'm just waiting for it to get dark so I can dial in the head and fog lights.

Heres a shot of the backend

Bad news is that there are some spots that are in need of some serious attention. Both door jams and the front of the hood need to be resprayed as coverage is light or just F'd.

So close, yet so far...

Here a shot of some of the paint issues I'm having. Its a close up of the hood

You can see the pealing and lack of coverage.

Only things that are left on the exterior are the mirrors, window / top trim (I'm painting them myself) and the radio antenna.

Man, paint looks killer! I bet those little imperfections are still nagging you though. Especially after the wait for completion. Looks excellent though!

Way ahead of you. I still have a few odds and ends of Phase One to complete but the altitude is the first thing to get addressed in Phase Two.

It’s like I’ve got ants crawling under my skin!
Here’s a shot of the drivers rocker. I didn’t notice it until I put the side skirt on but the lack of coverage really stands out now. The passenger side and both scoops look the same.

Don’t get me wrong, outside those spots, the car looks amazing!

It's not. The guy does full resto so I assumed that his "good" wouldn't come with the imperfections. I realize that I'm focusing on the parts that are bad.


Rims are going to be some charcoal Saleen replicas (with different center caps). 18x9 up front and 18x10 out back.

I'm not usually a fan of laser red but your car is an exception. Looks great!
