. It does take alot of prep work and sanding, then wet sanding to get it to look decent. Since I put it in the gravel, the prep work and sanding doubled. So you hit the nail on the head, just lots of sanding and cleaning.

Thanks guys for all the compliments.
Well the subframes are finally done and ready for the paper to come off. After sanding, priming, painting, wet sanding, painting, wet sanding, and finally spraying the clear, they are done. Here is a before and after. I think its a big improvement.:thwink: I don't think I will take red back to Road Atlanta any time soon.

I see dirt that's going to cost you in February (unless I see a $50 under the drivers floor mat).
Great job I always hate judging your car at the Winter Nat's it's a PITA to find anything wrong. I have two sets of white gloves this year
See you at the Winter Nat's
Happy Holidays

Thanks a bunch guys. The trick to the wheel wells is autozone or advance truck bedliner spray. It will make those ugly wheel wells look better than new.
This week I hope to get a few more hours in and get the exhaust polished enough to put back on. I would love to work on it more, but I am running out of time. I still have the front to do and install the new k-member and get the headers re-coated. Then comes the paint, wheels, brakes, interior, glass........the list is toooo long, but I do enjoy it. Did I forget to mention the engine detail, and vert top. Oh my.

Ok guys, just for ***** and giggles, red did the long haul power tour in 06 (3000 miles+), has seen Road Atlanta several times, and made the trip to G11last year without the trailer. So yes, it gets driven some.
Now lets get back to the progress.....
Not alot of time this weekend to work on Red,(had to cut a x-mas tree down)but I was able to get the rear end back in the car and bolt everything up.
Here is some more pics.
