Default Back from body and paint! Major DUW!!!

I decided that my car was in desperate need of a paint job. Someone scraped my bumper last 4th of July and I was waiting to see what I wanted to get done. I collected the estimate money from the insurance and took my time deciding what I was going to do....have just the bumper replaced and painted to match the car....or look into getting the entire car painted. After almost a year of looking for a painter, I decided to get the entire car done. So I put the Insurance $$$ towards the overall paint job. PRO50SC had traded his old stock hood for a cobra R hood that he gave me. Then I obtained a truck lid from a friend that didn't need it, so I was able to get rid of the luggage rack that was on the back of the car. Here is the original issues w/ the car. Faded paint, dented l/r fender, miss matched paint and various other things.















Next I got PRO50SC to lower the front end of my car, and now the stance was looking just right. Here he is doing the work...check out the pics!












He made a template to drill holes for the new deck lid


















First I went to the painter 5/10 and looked at paint chips and picked out a new color. I was sticking w/ a shade of red because I wasn't having the jams done. So I picked inferno red - it's a Chrysler color. I tooled around with doing 2-tone, but after hearing the price of the 2-tone paint job, I decided that I couldn't afford it. So I stuck with one color. OK, I dropped my car off on 5/17 to get the paint job done. 3 weeks later (today) I picked up my car. WOW was all I could say, I truly wasn't prepared for what I was gonna see. The car was beautiful and get this... after discussing not doing the jams....they were done anyway!!! I was shocked. I'm more in love with my car now then I ever have been. I left the 10-holes on for painting, but once I got the car home, PRO50SC polished up my wheels and put them on for me and now the car is even more amazing.

Here is what my car looks like now!

A whole lot of



The down side though is I have lost my spot in the garage for 2 months while the paint cures. It usually sits outside under cover but we can't cover it for that length of time. So now mine gets to sit outside under cover. [:@]
