Nice blurry pics from your dad. I only wetsanded like a sq. ft. on the quarter and on the door too. Came out great like a boss! Shouldn't take but a day to do the majority of the car once its back together.

Oh and your paint is just a pubic hair lighter than my ballin' paint....copy cat.

Ya... i dont have that car anymore.. got offered 8k cash for it. Sooooo it has a new owner. I have a Silver 98 SS hardtop now with arctic white interior. im in the process of fixing it up now. needs the hood and wing resprayed (leave it to SLP to do a crappy job of painting) and the driver seat needs upholstery.. going with the silver with white leather accents and some green LED gauges and white dome lights and other green accents... similar to McNords car was when it was white.. just some green here and there to accent everything.
