    I'm liking the colour combo. Are you going to do any polishing/wetsanding/rubbing out of the new paint, or leave it as is?

      I'm thinking about buffing it in a couple weeks. But I don't know for sure.

          I have one of those handles that make the can like a spray gun. A lot easier on the fingers.

                They make a big difference in how you can control the can.

                  ^^^ that's it right there.
                  Mine broke in about a half a can, but was easily fixed with a cotter key. It was the triger pivot that broke.

                      That looks awesome, I love that two-tone. Before I saw how it is now, I was kinda hoping to see just a white strip like 4 inches tall down the side, kinda like how Jelybean has AF with the marble strip, or like the Starsky and Hutch Gran Torino but just start at the back quarter panels and come to a point on the front quarter panels.

                      But it looks sweet, I can't wait to see what you do next!

                        Thanks 88Vic, to me it looks like a total different car.
                        As for what's next, I might do some 2.5 inch exhaust. I also have plans for a bigger cam, a shift kit,a torque converter, and a locker or limited slip.

                            Well, i bought a 2" receiver hitch for it.. not really for towing much, but it is nice to have a spot to hook a recovery strap when i get stuck in the snow. or pull my car trailer home after my friends use it, and dont bring it back.. Those things are held on by only 4 half inch, grade five bolts! I'm picking up some grade 8 bolts and going to drill an extra hole in the hitch so ther will be 6 bolts total..

                              I can Instantly lower the rear of my car 4.5 inches.

                              Just have to hook my heavy ass car trailer to the back of it.
