RE: Quckie update
i have a suggestion that may help 2 members on this forum. what if we donate money to this guy through a paypal account set up by mellowyellow since he has all the GT takeoff parts that he needs. we will be helping one member sell his takeoffs and help another member finish an 07 restoration i think it would be awesome. i for 1 will contibute 20 bucks to the cuase. lets try and get this ball rolling.

RE: Quckie update
hopefully i don't get flamed for this, but i kinda like the idea of an off center stripe. also, the pony emblem to match the stripe, make sure to keep that! it will be very original, and it will look hot in the black grill.

Gloss black with a double, darker green stripe down the middle...I hate off centered stripes...Then add some 18 inch black buillit wheels with a chrome lip. Louvers would be cool too with the rear window one to go with it...oh and 20% tints... That car would scream "IM BADDASS"

RE: Quckie update
Didn't get a ton done today as I was working by myself. I started chemically stripping the paint and got about 75% done.
Here's some pictures of before, during and after.
I applied the paint stipper gel with a paint brush. Starting with the roof and hood.
5 minutes in.
About 10 minutes in.
It's so cool how it just pops up!
We're getting there.
I just thought this looked groovy!
Hoods looking good but still working on the trouble spots on the fender and doors.
And I ran out of paint stripper. It was too late to go get some more so I will finish it up tomorrow or Tuesday.
A big pile of paint chips.
Not nearly as exciting as the first phase but I feel i got a lot done today.
Stay tuned for future episodes!
