car almost complete now
Thursday, June 15, 2006 4:35 PM
Hey everyone,

I almost finished painting my car now. The only thing left to do now is put one more single base coat of corvette on the hood and clear coat it. I ran out of reducer last weekend so i couldnt finish it. This weekend i will get the hood painted. Then i will start wetsanding the car with 2500 grit to 3500 grit and buff it out with 3m Finishing Material. Well enough talking and on with the pics for now.

im still putting the car back together slowly. I still have to finish painting the hood and start wetsanding the car. I just put the parts on to take pics of it to see how its goign to look when i finish it. I took the mirrors fully apart when painting them so now i just have to put them back together. The trim on my car will also all be repainted black so it looks brand new again and i will get the @!#$ off the windows.

it will be dropped soon. Im just super busy right now so its hard for me to finish it. I got two months before i start for my masters degree at UTD for computer science so i have to get moving on this car to finish it. It still needs alot of work but it will get finished soon.

thanks everyone for the post. I still got a lot of work to do on it and a lot of cleaning but i will post more pics as it goes on.

the mirrors are m3 blinker mirrors, they wire up easy and look awesome painted to match your car. I paid $55 for my pair from a company in michigan.

the color is CORVETTE RED.

Yeah the wheels use to be silver, i used gunmetal rim paint from autozone and painted them last year and there still perfect. I prepped it and did it right with clear coat.

As for the nightshades, the front eclipse blinkers are going to get that, rear tails are, m3 blinkers will too.

As i said above i still have lots to do to finish this car, i just wanted to post pics now too see what people think.

yeah I have those wheels. they are actually Primax 65x something. but mine are kinda scuffed up and I wanted new ones just like em but unfortuantly like a car they disconntinued them.. so the primax's are going up for sale as of now. 17x7.5. to bad I really liked those.
