Default Gettin the car painted

Old Pic


The same guy that painted my Helmet is going to be airbrushing the car. I'm not going to leak what paint scheme i'm goin with you'll just have to wait and see.



Here are the Most Recent Pics of the TA 3/12/09





As of right now the front fenders are off and the car is almost in primer. Will update pics this week. Car should be completed by next month.

Default Updated Pics







<- No more antenna





<- No more big chunk missing and huge gaping scratch



The Hood and Rear hatch still needs to have the final prep done to them. After that we are taking the doors and hatch off the car to have the Driver rear quarter redone < Due to a botched repair job back in the day > and seam sealed. Once thats done then it's on with the white base then time for airbrushing.
