Default PAINTED FINALLY 88 Gt (Before & After Pics)

Ok guys I finally got all the painting done along with Color sanding and I am about 80% done buffing. I threw on some Cobra R's 245/45/17 all the way around, 2 In cowl hood, still needing to install Tokiko 5 way adjustable shocks, 1.5 lowering sprigs, BBK Upper and lower cont arms, subframe connectors and a 150 Wet shot of NOS. The bad thing is when I got it all running this past Friday I went out and blew ****ters all over town.............during that I also blew the tranny so a new G force T-5 is on the way shortly.

Here is the bad body damage:



Here is the body before I started painting everything.



Here is after the last coat of clear and all that F'in orange peel:



Here is the body



here is the same side after the color sand and buff notice NO PEEL!



Here is the hood:





Here is the car ( sorry will have better pics soon enough) need to get the tranny fixed first!



My sexy ***:



THen after its all over you get real hammered at the lake and spank your womens booty JUST hard enough to make her say how great of a paint job you just did!
