Rattle Can Madness!!! (DUW)

So I got the bright idea to repaint the t-bird.  Here's some before and after.  And then there's the aftermath... muha ha ha.


Here's the Before Pix...

Aftermath!!!!!

Don't get me wrong, it was totally a spur of the moment thing.  And the paint wasn't dry because i was running outta light.  But i do have pix, so be glad...

Yeah, i was going for the flat black/ beater look.  It's kinda my thing.  But anyway, would you like some more pictures of the rims?  Cause all of them have something on them.

That's what i was going for... But the funny thing is, i'm fixin it up! LMAO!  I'd never put her in the derby.  Maybe the tough truck event though.  You know, take her off some big ramps and see how well the crowd digs that!

Here's some better daytime pics.  I understand that it was very hard to see at night so hopefully these pictures will do a little more justice.  And if not then so what!

*edit*  do you see why i have flat black as the body?  Because of a guardrail incident the previous owner had.

My momma said if I don't have something nice to say, to say nothing at all.

I'm sorry momma - but that is the ugliest Thunderbird I've ever seen.  Why in the world would you ... eh, nevermind.  I can't talk, I've got an ugly one too.  But it was born that way.
