what materials did you use that it's not looking so good anymore. i knew the car would never be torn down this far again so i decided to spend a little to have it done. i was gonna try it myself but i didn't want to regret it when it was too late. suprisingly it isn't to bad to have a body shop do it

I did all the work myself with bondo and had paint mixed and put it rattle cans. I did clear it and it looked good for a while but I spilled a bunch of fuel on it this year taking the intake off and it eat the clear off in one spot and looks like **** now

man thats a sweet deal. i heard you can pour that right in the gas tank and it will give ya an extra 350hp. if my electric huffer plan falls through i'll take that off your hands. i'm pretty sure i can use a can of compressed air to push that through so i don't have to fill the bottle as much

thats exactly what i was gonna do but i was worried that my rattle can skills were a little under par. thats why i opted to have it done at the body shop. i'm hoping that the base+ clear will hold up a little better. all the holes are being welded shut as well as the seams welded and smoothed. i can't wait to see how it comes out

I tried to give you one on the last day of Cecil this past year....

No one would use it. I promised 1000 RWHP for $2.29 with NOS Brand Energy Drink, but I guess everyone was afraid.

Guaranteed 1kHP!! (That's 1 Kila-Horsepower)

Looks good and the paint should hold up well being that done by a body shop. here is mine after I first did it. I spent a lot of time smoothing out all my seams and body lines

thanks guys for the comments. i was probably expecting too much for what i spent and as usual i'm never satisfied with stuff i do to the car. i'm pretty sure with the motor in most of the stuff i'm unhappy with will be hidden. i was hoping that the seams would be completely gone but it is what it is
