Keep up the good work. Can't wait for the car to sport some extreme paint.

Dam! thanks guys. You guys are givin me more motivation to get done.
Ive definatley got alot of work to do to finish this project.
Still gotta work out what i'm gonna do with those plastic fenders. I mean i could just put some mesh/fiberglass/bondo up in there but it would probably only last a week.
I'll think of something. :?

But in terms of paint, i've got a long road ahead of me. I'm not gonna put paint on there untill everything is perfect because after i get it painted any little dent/inperfection is gonna bother the hell outta me. I'm not paying a cent for the body work between me doing it myself and my friend at maaco hookin it up. So i figure if i can make everything look like glass by the time i'm done it'll be worth the wait. But just to give you an idea, i'm about half way done and i started 8 months ago.

I'll post more pics as i go.

Thanks for all the positive input!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, I bet you never guessed it would take this long eh? I'm more than happy to wait, I'm halfway considering that, Those headlight look sharp.

Hey, Did you ever think about filling that license plate dent in the front bumper? Just to make it sooooooth clean accross... That'd be nice, But I have no idea of the feasability.

The longer i wait, the more stuff i come up with.

I definatley thought of filling that and it would be clean as hell looking.
But, that'* a pretty big gap and more than a half inch of bondo on plastic won't work. Hell, your not even really sopose to put that stuff on plastic.
You should see what i had to do to my rear bumper reflector holes to make them crack proof.
I scored the living crap out of that hole melting the reflector to the bumper and then put heavy weight bondo, then lightweight, then thick primer with a hardner.
I was also thinking about gettin rid of the license plate hole in the rear bumper too. I've actually got another rear bumper to work with too. But after some measurements, and reality setting in, it didn't seem doable.

Nice idea though, and if anyone else has any feel free to throw them at me.
