hahahah you are correct sir, i am 24, single with no kids, would love a gf but 4 out of 5 girls are ******, i have a good paying job, live with two best friends so rent n utilities are next to nothing, other than that i have no bills.

and when i bought the car i originally wanted just bolt ons, lol yea right

applied second coat of red about an hour ago, everything else from this point on will be current. planning on giving her a 3rd coat in a few days just to be safe / finish the can lol. followed by some clear coat














the most exciting part is right around the corner, going to start putting her back together hopefully within a week or so. just have to get a few more items. with that being said i leave you with a video i took right before she went under construction. some of you might have seen it already but whatev theres other great videos on my friends youtube page aswell. hope everyones liking the thread

Did you clay bar the car or anything? The original pic it's dirty but the paint looks to have tons of fine scratches but the newer pics don't look this way.
