If you weren't so busy cleaning your car, you'd have a job by now.

I give you credit kid that's looking pretty good! The alignment on the drivers door could be better. That thing has come a long ways!

thats too much!

It's funny because you look at those pics with the mismatched parts and it looks like a piecer...but it has come a long way and looks dang good. You've done an excellent job.

You should paint the entire thing primer (even the sidestrips)...it'd be wicked.

thats just more work in the end..

now i just need to figure out weather i want to go body color with the moldings or leave them black

i figure if i leave them black if some ***** **** throws his door into it after its painted it would just bounch off the trim (depending on the car, truck ect! ) with it painted it could either spider around it or chip ect

idk i think i may sell what i have of my 5 lug swap parts that way i can get some quick cash so i can do a few extra things when i paint it. ( limited spolier, cobra insert. )

Me and my old man were looking at what you've got and what you started with... let me tell you ryan, **** all the haters - you did a FANTASTIC job on that car. I personally can't wait to see it when you're done with it. Also, what's the color on that GTO? what color blue? that's THE color i've been looking for for my 89 notch.

edit: paint everything the same... well, that's my plan at least.

also, i don't know why everyone was complaining so much about rust - i loved sanding my car down. then again, my rust was minimal with minimal body work (i just rubber hammered out a couple dings, applied bondo to one little spot on the left front fender, and re-aligned everything)... it wasn't bad at all

it was so exciting to see the primer all over it, to see the car in one singular color.... mmmm... i can't wait to see what mine looks with paint.

are you going to do anything special with the interior? any kind of audio system?

 

[carbed87]

i say before you paint it, drop it and put one of those style bars on it...that'd be sweet

 

[foxmustangman]

I'd go with that blue and paint it all around. If you do it right you wont have to worry about paint flaking off if someone hits your door. PM me for details if you want.

lol, no he needs to paint ti first, other wise ppl will think he is just polishing a turd, and you know how that goes.

Lookin better. I cleaned the **** out of my interior today, but we are still in a damn drought and can't wash cars or any do outside watering

I'm gonna wash it tomorrow tho at one of those places that recycle the water. I have off so I am also gonna start a few other little fix up projects. Keep it up.

Oh and dump your exhaust asap.
