Looks good. I cannot believe how much the side view of the back of the car without a spoiler looks so much like a ford probe. Cant wait to see it done!

rain is slowing me down today along with a hangover but i'll keep pics updated. I'm doing a bit of interior work as well through this whole process. One thing that is holding me back though is the price of weather stripping for the doors/t-tops. $200 a side is redic, thats more than what I could get the front two seats re-upholstered for lol

it's not factory paint...which is one of the main reasons why I'm re-spraying it. When I purchased the vehicle it was painted a 03 Honda Accord color called Midnight Blue Metallic. It's a pretty cool color, the prep work for the paint job was excellent, as they went to bare plastic/metal, but the clear coat was nasty, there were runs, etc. Whoever paitned it also forgot to put some of the trans am lettering and side moldings back on, etc.
I started with 400, went to 600. I'm on the fence about just taking the DA and going all the way down, we'll see. Held back today again by a wiring shenanigan on the mustang. I had no reverse lights/3rd brake light.

blocked the hood a little bit mroe today and put some primer over the filler, gonna block it some more tomorrow. Also work on the door jams a bit, took some crap out of the interior that needs to be fixed cleaned. The floormats and such are being exchanged for less gaudy ones lol.
