Now after owning the car for 18 hours a ford truck decided to cut across two lanes to get to a turn lane and caused a mess. i went right into the back of my friend doing 150 bucks worth of damage. i didnt get away that easy...

a few more weeks passed and i got a nice deal on some good fenders that needed very little work and put them on after a good sand.

i took it to the bodyshop at my work and let them take care of those doors and get the rest of the car ready for paint.

the next step was the wheels. i found a steal on some trans am snowflake wheels that needed some work done to them. first i had to use aluminum paint stripper to get the 6 coats of paint off of them.

then after a good cleaning i went ahead and masked them off and painted them followed by some clear coat.

Beautiful bird buddy. Lots of hard, well-rewarded work. I love the hood decal, that's the direction I'm gonna go too.
