well it's started. i rough sanded down the topcoat and i will begin the hand sanding tomorrow. filled in a lot of bumps, scratches and ridges. i couldn't feel most of them but my buddy Jim says "it has to be smooooooooth!". doing a bit every day and hope to get to pulling things off (mirrors, heads, tails, etc) this weekend and start priming the engine bonnet, backhatch and doors. i am painting it 199 (Alpine Silver Metallic).
here are a few pics of the progress-- from before i started to what it loooked like this afternoon:     it's so ugly now, it turns as many heads as the day i bought it (i know i'm an eternal optimist). This post has been edited by axelrduvirage: Jul 19, 2006 - 4:43 AM --------------------  |
