i have pretty much decided to only do the front bumper. i have the patch pieces in and mostly glued but it was a pain. about 6 hors worth of work and i still gotta pull the bumper off to add some strength to the back. like everything else this went from a week to about a months worth of work

I'm confused, did you already repaint the hood and fenders the same color or are those pics from before? I still like the layout but I'm thinking black will be to dull and blah. That car needs some color, kandy orange or rootbeer, or maybe some painted woodgrain. Couldn't find any pics but I've seen some really neat jobs. Here's video I found:

Nice job but you did so much work to the hatch area and no pix!
C'mon, post some pix of your shaved hatch

Looks like your off to a good start, I think the striping is going to look sweet. Wished we lived closer I would love to give you a hand.

that pic is from just before i started. i would do something crazy if i could airbrush. i do know a guy thats really good, so if i can get him to come to my house i will do something in the black spot. if not i think it will just be a straight black line. i think most of the time a simple paint job looks better. there is enough about the car to makeit stand out already. i do have some redish-orange that i may spray on my test panel to see what it looks like.

sorry i loaded some pics and forgot others. the body work on the wiper went really good. one thin coat of bondo and one coat of primer. i am hopefuly going to work on it again today and ill put up pics of what i have done so far.

i could use some help. for some reason nobody wants to help with sanding. we will just have to meet in the middle some time i guess. im sure ill want to color sand it too so it may be a while till its camera worthy.

thanks everyone else

Thumbs up Very Cool!

nice pics of the work in progress, can't wait to see the finished ride. I am also lovin' the rims and the slammed look.
