Spray bombed for now, got a friend with a shop, gonna paint it right next spring, those are spare headlights, I have 3 pair, hood's not painted, just flat clearcoat.




Wet in this one, passenger side tailpipe is in my trunk, has a bad habit of trying to fall off... Need to weld them on...


Let me start it off.






















Didn't know there was a 40 image limit.
