I think a front and rear spoiler will really set the car off. Borrowed the rear one from my 71 challenger, will have to do until there is enough money to buy one for the bee... Then Seem Sealed everything to let it dry over night, then go over the car closely and the big day is thursday

Being 16, I'm low on money and I can't afford to send my cars to the body shop right now...but I'm kinda afraid to do body work myself...it looks really tough.

Im lucky enough to have a guy watching over my shoulder whos been doing this stuff the last 40 or so years. But i will tell you its this. Once you get it primed, you can let the guidecoat and your hand do all the work. Its a very long process and you will screw up, its just the nature of things. Try it and if you cant get it well then your out maybe $150 in supplies verse two hours of a shops labor.
