I didnt like these wheels at first ,but they are kind of growing on me . There is quite a bit of weight to go back into the car so it will come down a bit in the rear but i think it needs to be lowered a couple of inches

This was not supposed to be a complete repaint ,but the car comes apart so easily i figure why the hell not!
I need a trunk lid fake gas cap for a Gt if anyone has one ,the one i have is for a GT350 . I bought new fender badges today ,supposed to be in tomorrow

The only thing left is the bumpers and plastic pieces . I had a bit of fish eye start in coat number two of clear on the hood ,a bit of flow adative and it filled them in on coat number 3 .
I am going to have to buff the body and the rest of the pieces and bolt them on before i can do the bumpers ,i dont have the room to store everything out of harm .

Color sanded ,buffed with compound then buffed with polish and it probably glows in the dark! Still needs hand glaze and waxing a little on down the road

Buffed out the hood and trunklid and bolted them on . There is no adjustment for any body panel on this thing ,it simply bolts in place and fits very well .
