Cleared :thumbsup:












Car has 4 coats of clear on it, so hopefully when I do finally get around to buffing it(probably in a couple months because this clear does better when fully hard) I can buff out all the dirt without breaking through.  I always have problems with dirt in this booth :thumbsdown:

BTW:  This blue definately didnt photograph anywhere near the right color.  It should be much darker and more purple.  Maybe the lights in this booth are messing with the camera since they are mercury vapor lights.

Did you actually put a Four-eyes front end on an 88?

Btw,  that whole painting thing is a ton of work, so, kudos to you!

The 4 eye  near bolted on.  I think I only made 2 holes bigger and drilled 2 more.  No sweat on that part.

wow. WOW!  (That's a surprise, I was expecting burgundy.)  That is going to look really nice when you're done.  And how many people are going to understand the 4I front end on an 87?

 Whoops, got a little misunderstood there.

I obviously love the 4-Eye look, so I'm glad to see it!
