I'll make it back there eventually. I'm afraid of what I'm gonna find on this car.
He's some pics of the progress I made today. Got one fender straight (My sister backed into it and a kid in the neighborhood shot it with a BB gun) and started on the front clip. I ran out of self etching primer so there is some metal showing on the fender. Still have to go over it again and then shoot some primer filler over it. I think I made decent progress today.




Not looking forward to sanding this

Made some more progress today. Got the front clip sanded and ready for primer. Just the hood and right fender left then its on to the car itself. I ordered a gallon of the paint on sunday so I can see how it looks in person. My wrist and shoulder will be glad when this is over.

Well I got the front of the car done now and took the doors off today. I'd say Im nearing the half way point. It reminded me of a dilema I have though. Stripes or no stripes. I normally dont like them on a fox. Originally I wanted to do a red stripe on the gray but decided thats too much now. I then had the idea to do a lighter gray stripe on the dark gray. Im leaning towards no stripe though. I think simple would be best in this case. Any opinions?

This is what im thinking of. Only opposite and less of a contrast

/\ that looks good.


almost a "ghost" stripes deal would look pretty good.

Prepping the car is always the worst part. I feel ya as im about to start stripping mine this weekend!

Lazor05

Yeah thats what I was thinking of doing. I have stripes in my interior so I want to continue that on the body too. Just cant decide. haha

Well painted my first piece to see how the color looks. What do you guys think?

Well, it's always good to see reflections. haha It's kinda hard to see the color well in that shot though. Maybe try to take some shots outside at different angles.
