So yeah thats what i have been doing all winter, and thats why MY car didnt get done faster

i have many more pics, from different angles showing somne of the Issues with the car (rust/old damage)

I will upload them later.

got to love the 2nd gens I got 2 myself

JEEZE.. you really took it down to the metal huh.. i would have just left it like that

Noticed the Solstice body work on a GXP already ??? tomorrow when i get home I have some pics of my sisters new car at the body shop already.. with less then 400 miles

but not the jack

haro bite it "should have left it that way boohoo....

peter chem strip it ?

That'* a base solstice, no Left exhaust tip/bumper cutout No spoiler on there either...

oh yeah N/M i got used to looking at the tips in the middle just noticed the wheels

that Solstice was a pain in the *** let me tell you, nothing was going right the day i painted that, so it ended up needing a 5+ hour watersand/polish job

but now im confedant i can make my car look like GLASS, with ZERO texture in the paint

And yes, it was Chem striped

well we finished it up, Boy was it a stressfull built. but the results were fantastic!

And it almost made the $50K resurve at the auction, i got to $48500 but the owner didnt pull the resurve :?

Anywho, heres the pics!!
