well actually it is about 4 inches further towards the rear of the car. But close enough that you do win!!! We will need your physical address to send the bill for the celebratory dinner after Monday, when it is painted and out of my garage.

Anyways, keep it going because I am watching this thread closely, I always like to see a car makeover done on the budget and for a good kid, will she bring the car to MATS this year Mike?

Thanks Nick. No MATS this year...I can't afford it.

So far, I think my supplies are around $800. We're shooting single stage acrylic urethane at a whopping $96/gal -------> If you add in the pizza, beer, and lunches, I think I'm at about $2300.

Moon Man --



And his accomplice --



Foggy notions --






Mmmmmmmmm, FRESH PAINT!!!






Rick did all the spraying. I put the finish coat on the front valance, but I have to give credit to Rick for the rest. The man knows how to lay down paint!! It looks MUCH better in person...pics only tell half the story. WOOHOO!!

More pics to follow when the weather clears and we can get it out of the garage. Supposed to rain for the next few days, so she's staying nestled in the garage for a while.

I like it! Very nice for a "garage" paint job.

Post pics when you get the chrome and matching wheels back on it.
