also I got to looking at the back of the car with the pics I had taken today and noticed exactly how much yellow was showing through on the black trim part. I didnt do it to make it perfect so up close its still pretty rough but from a distance it looks great I figure since I have to replace it due to a crack in the corner of it there's no need to make it perfect but I did at least make it look better it also hides the crack a little more then the duct tape the woman before had on it. Also I know bumper stickers make a car look kinda tacky and its only there until we paint it anyway but when I saw this one I had to get it lol

Also we're changing the interior of the car to a black color. I have the rear side panels done as well as the trim piece above the passenger door. its coming along very very slowly the cold weather we had as well as me being sick for like the last month hasnt helped that project.

Yeah the park over there with the skate park. Dude I just took those this afternoon I didnt see any of your vehicles around. Im guessing you live in that house right there on the corner then if its only 20 feet the only thing 20 feet any other direction is close to the pool and the convent.lol I bet all your neighbors were wondering what the hells that hippy doing out there with his car and a camera? And yea I like how it sits now looks alot better the pic at the very top of the before on the springs really doesnt show how big the gap was between my tire and the fender well. It was so worn out that if you sat in the car the front end sank about an inch even with my featherweight butt in the car. The ole lady was sitting in the car reading waiting on me when I took that so it was actually sitting lower then its normal stance.
You can still tell a big difference between before and after even with the front of the car sunk down lower on the before. I might leave it sit like it is I kind of like the back being higher then the front. It's just about right higher in the back but not ridiculously high like that yellow nova running around town with the ass 3 feet off the ground and the nose a foot and a half. I'll admit the car sounds mean and all when the guy steps on it but with the rake of it as well as the bright ass yellow with the black vinyl top the car just looks retarded.
I think mine sits just about right maybe get an inch more in the back but that would be tops on how much higher the back sat. I wouldnt go much over that . And with the back bumper I wasnt expecting much on it I used krylon for petes sake lol it was the krylon fusion stuff though. I just wanted to make it look a little better until I get my other bumper cover from the white car which will hopefully be soon my car having its crack showing is almost like a plumbers vehicle lol

No I live in the middle of the block on 12th. But I live really close. Yeah I hate that Nova. I dont give him any credit, I dont like anything about that car. You have probably saw my 86 sitting on the other side of the park at the high school. I started removing paint on the header that bubbled. Also removed the exhaust after the ler. The way that car is going 88turbo(graham) might have himself a new car. Nicely done though. Ill have to TRY and take the Chevelle out often now that its out of storage.
