Nah the painter is. I have very little experience painting and wet sanding (VERY little) and did not want to ruin this car. I will practice on something else, but not this one!

Yup, just graduated College for Architecture and plan to stay here through Yacht Design. No sense in moving out just yet, but when Im done with my 2 year yacht design course, I will be gone. Smartest thing I am doing, because 700/month (I wish CT was 700/month, try 1000+ for anything half decent) can go towards other bills cars and stuff.

Not saying its the best thing, but I "could" have moved out at 18-19, but chose this route, and its paying off! Different strokes for different folks, just dont think because I live at home Im spoiled, or have the easy life!

It's how I was raised. I worked for what I had, and in return tend to enjoy it and respect it more. I'm sure if I had things handed to me, I would have some amazing car stuff, but for now I do with what I have!

that ain't the trust...when you work for something the end result is always more fulfilling....well maybe that's just for me but..i like working for what i have...only way to get ahead now a days

Thats the plan. Stay home while I go to school for yacht design, and then when all is said and done I will move closer to those jobs, and should have enough money saved to buy a condo. I am in no rush, me and the family get along and everyone else I know is starting to get condos and apartments... No worries!

Not sure but the car MIGHT be getting its second wet sand and buff today. The kid will come if his work isnt going out (landscaping) but the rain stopped and its nicer out now, so who knows. If not maybe Saturday.

I bring them to the dorm, the condo I am sitting for for a few months, or any of the 5 other places I can take them. Trust me, living at home has in NO WAY affected getting with girls. Not to mention friends owning hotels and the like. Plus its easier to snag a girl in a nice luxury car, or a fox body that looks good, then it is in a beat out pickup or a rusted out 5.0...

BAD pictures, but they give an idea of it... The one two tone pic shows how the black looks in a not sun washed camera. I am impressed!

BTW: forget about my ugly mug in the reflection!

Looking good! However, we need some high quality pic's when it's completed. I need a new background for the computer.

Thanks, the pics dont do it any justice. The closest one is the one with the black and the gold seperated. It shows how the black really does look like a mirror. I was told a good wax would bring it out more as well. I tried for some more finished shots and this was the only one that showed up. Our $50 camera has to go!

I will be down there, dont worry... Right after Myrtle Beach if the car makes the 2000+ mile trip without worries I will be out abusing it at Etown. I love looking at and cleaning my cars, but I love driving them even more!
