Re: new pics on progress on the car UPDATED 4/12

went out to the shop today and got to see some red sprayed... we sprayed the underside of the hood and the edges of the new fender, putting the fender back on tomorrow and putting the hood on and drilling my holes for the hood pins and resand the top of the hood and fender to get the overspray off and then its ready to go in the booth... hopefully tomorrow night the whole car will be painted, trying to get it done and put back together for a car show on the 25th....

Re: new pics on progress on the car UPDATED 4/15

Hella nice.. it seems as if a lot of people are getting painted right now. I need to hurry up and get ungrounded by my mom, so I can buy the 96 cobra hood, and s281 spoiler and let (ready for flaming)Maaco paint it. Im gonna have my uncle help me get it ready for paint then bring it to them in ready to spray condition. Hopefully they wont fugg it up.

Re: THE CAR IS PAINTED!! update 4/17

Just looked @ again! Something about that dog that I can't find the right words to say! Almost like he wants his pic taken!! Saw you taking pics, thought to him/herself, "Ah, what the hell!!" I don't really care for dogs now. Looks like I could really like him/her, though! Just looks like a good dog. Maybe even still loves to get in your lap. Just a cool looking pup!
