Pics of my shell painted

I know some of these were up last time i posted after i painted all the parts i took off. I also put up ones of the shell after i painted it. I would put all the pics of my car during painting but the people that admin bright net's web server are *****. I'm going home next weekend so i'm gonna take some pics of the car completely reassembled. I didn't have time to do it before i left for school b/c i got it done late the night before I left.

here's the pics

haha, no that's not a crease. it's the reflection of a big metal pole that's in the center of the garage. i dunno why that pic turned out like that. when i saw it on the camera i did run downstairs just to make sure tho b/c i thought the same thing. the front ds fender on the other hand.....ummmm, it's gonna go this summer. got it sandblasted and it warped all to &%$#. tried best i could to correct it but it was still way off after i got done painting it. i had to bend it so much to get it to go back on that the paint and bondo on the fender cracked. it's on the car, but there's a HUGE gap between it and the door. i'll pick a new one up when i get home for the summer. still got about a half gallon of paint left so i should be gtg on that.

Thats good to hear its not a crease. I'd hate to see something like that on my car after I had painted it.

oh yes. after doing all that work, if that would have been a crease, i would have sanded the door back down, fixed it, and painted it again. had to do that to the decklid. I didn't notice a low spot on it until after it was painted so i sanded it back down, fixed it and repainted it.
