New paint

I got out this morning and started wet sanding and buffing the new paint. Looks pretty good I think, and its nice to see it all back in color again. I get some better pics when I get finished and get all the new T-top seal,window felts and the mirrors back on.

Congrats tunedport335, I was wondering who would be the first to notice that. Almost nobody that has looked at the car has noticed it. Anyway when I get all the new seals in and have it all out back togther I will get some good pics up for you guys.

finally a car that has that done, that is one thing on my list to do when the car gets repainted , no side markers. They are very subtle and not many people notice. That hood looks like it fits perfect in that first pic. I wanna see some more pics.

I'm not into anything to crazy,so I kept things pretty simple. The only things I done were shaving the side markers, the antenna and the side moldings. I love the look with the shaved side markers. Its subtle and not many people will notice it, but to me it just cleans the side of the car up nice, especially on black. As for the hood, I was very,very impressed with ASCD's fiberglass work. I have heard of some people having a time fitting there hoods,but mine was damn near perfect. I have worked with alot of different glass hoods and never had on that was so easy to make fit. Thanks to all you guys for your compliments,they are appreciated. Like I said when its all back togther I will get some good pics of it outside.

Heres one more of the hood
