looks great man. Would look sick with a NICE set of gunmetal rims with 315's out the back and a drop. But you get some mad respect from me. That paint looks SLICK!

The "body line fill" is AMAZING looking!!!!!

BUT..... my worry is "how will it hold up?" Everyone always points out how epoxy/bondo/etc shrinks/cracks/etc over time with heating/cooling/vibration/etc. What is it going to look like in 2/5/10/20 years (yes I plan to keep my car for 20+ years )?

wow, that car looks great. you werent able to get rid of the orange peel? id expect that a "$5000" paint job would not have peel in it...but thats incredible for "backyard" job.

i really like how the hockey stripe follows the contour of the wheel well. when i see it done on here, so often it has a different arch to it, and it looks like doody.

muffinbuster is a sponsor on here now, dragon something...he still seems offer the same stuff.

i think that rear panel would look too plain to have nothing, id get retro badges for it...maybe just one for the center.
