Default Blackbirds and etc.

Well I removed my stripes. They were fading and better boring. Did not imagine that it was going to take 4 1/2 to remove them. But in the end it was worth while.

I removed the side moldings and badging.

The first side was a complete pain in the a$$. But I was able to save it. Word to the wise, DO NOT INSTALL THEM IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. They look white, but they are metallic silver.

I decided to post this here so you would recognize my scrap!

Thanks torchd 02 ta, for helping me on this adventure!



I also, decided to put the decals on the side where I removed the factory badging. So I applied the decal straight to the car. Looked to plain otherwise.


I then finished polishing the center filler between the taillights
