Default Finaly finished my car...

I just finished painting my car. You can see in the pic, the driver side head light is all but finished. I logged almost 20 hours fabricating it. The next pics are of Sunday afternoon . A guy in a suv turned in front of me. Thankfully nobody was seriously injured, and he has acepted liability.

I know, I have been looking at them. It would be nice to find one that already has some stuff done, so I dont have to start all over.

First off I'm glad your ok! that hood is FUC@$!, But did you ever think that the guy who did it might have been a die hard f-bod fan like myself and took it out for a reason I'm just messing with you, you painted it that way cause thats how you liked it, and thats all that counts. Sorry for so many lost hours and money.

You can diss on my husband's paint job all you want - but just so you know - Tranzaman00 has a retarded bird on his hood and he's making fun of my husband's original paint job. I've attached a copy of the pic from his file and then one of the real TA logo that I'm sure you're all familiar with. If you compare the too, you'll probably agree that his wanna be bird deserves to ride on the short bus! So if you're gonna laugh at my husband's...laugh at this idiot's too!

Look lady I wasn't making fun of your HUSBANDS car try reading the post again. It was all in good fun. Try reading what everyone else wrote though. By the way everyone, her HUSBAND rides the short bus thus the reason he can't type for himself,check him out thats a pic of him in Her Avatar. IDIOT DUHRRRRR!!! Say where's Arnie GILBERT SAY IT! DUHRRRR.
By the way that real TA logo hasn't been used for decades Dumb ***! Here is another pic for you. Try looking on the back of your husbands piece of ****, Oh what do you see? https://ls1tech.com/forums/attachmen...chmentid=36704 But since you thought I was being an *** when I wasn't now It's time to be an *** That paint job looks like Fat Bastard swallowed a bunch of red paint and **** it all over the poor trans am.
The ugly piece of **** has now been put out of it's misery. Are you sure the car didn't jump out in front of the vehicle that hit it because it couldn't take it anymore? Go buy an srt 4 and whine on one of their forums.
