got to buy another gallon of the same paint, and this time no clear coat..... and have Dave put it on thicker. Blood is not blood when thinned out with conservatism... I wanted a damn massacre.

This coat will just show us where to work it some more, and will work as a good primer.



















upon delivery, a strap slipped, and the car rolled back on the trailer and hit some ramps...but the next paint job will cover it. Along with one of those over sized CF wings.








still a lot of work ahead, and re-shoot it again. At least now I don't have to worry about scratching the paint while I fab up everything.

sucks about the ramps but it doesnt look horrible. i actually like the maroon color.

you need to buy fresh paint! 2 stage it! the paint on the grey car still looks decent after a quick wash.

ugh, that paint sucks ass dude. the bodywork is straight but when you X-large the pictures you can really see that it laid like shit. when you repsray, get something that isnt available off the back of a truck and is properly sealed! that paint was way too old.

I was actually happy with the way the engine bay came out with the single stage paint.... I just wished the rest of the car come out the same way. Yes, it's harder to spray, run's are harder to catch, but the hue, the sunlight hitting it just right was the difference from a blood soaked tampon and a freshly slaughtered virgin.

The customer is always right....even if he makes no sense.

TurboMirage

just remember how much time you like to spend on upkeep, and how little time the rest of us have spent

still no wax on the grey one, paint and clear only cost me $250, and with the exception of the gravel spots on the fenderliners behind the tires the paint still looks recently shot. not to mention nearly 85K miles on that paint as-is.

please tell me that those are just test wheels. that mexiflush looks horrible. get some less wide wheels to square up the tire.

good to see it all one color though

GlassHeadlights

Purely bad ass. Some sort of a gold pinstripe or something would set that off but I still love it the way it is.

double0Si

Or just get wider tires!

klyph

And fender flares!!!

GSRCRXsi

He's gonna rub as is. Might as well make it look better and more functional. he's never gonna need all that tire anyway

TurboMirage

you are right since the car is a mandatory hard parker

TurboDave

Clayton. Before we fix that bloody mess of shit paint... you will need to come down my way and go with me to my paint store and get the color we need. i already have everything else.

Airjockie

tossed the teins on the rear today....and the pana's where they will sit with the 22-10-13's I just bought.







and bumped up to fit the 16x11's

klyph

How much travel does that give you before the tire knocks that whole flare off the car?

Airjockie

400lb springs don't really flex too much under load.... 800lbs per inch in the rear, and when I do get it drivable, I'll have it about 3/4inch away from the fender, and centered in when I toss the adjustable pan-hard bar in with a few washers to camber to top of the tire in....but the 16's will be daily tires, while the 13's are for racing...

klyph

Can't you just replace the springs with a solid bar and save some weight?

TurboMirage

still need springs. you must be talking about the panhard bar, which keeps the axle straight.

Airjockie

Adjustable Panhard bar is for re-centering the axle after lowering. Not making it Straight.

TurboMirage

yeah oops brain fart. that is what i meant

double0Si

Im pretty sure that klyph was making a joke about the stiffness of the springs being like a solid mounted suspension. You guys are terrible at the whole sarcasm thing.
