Thanks, but the car was one of those 60 footers, you know.... it looks great from 60ft away then when you get up close you see all the flaws. It had two holes on the roof that came from bad rust and a faded **** poor maco paint job. It was honestly ready for a new paint job. The shop striped it all the way down to the original paint and then fixed any body work that needed to be done. It's going to be painted Flame Red Metallic with the sunoco hood sporting black accent stripes down the side of the cowl. I will post more pictures of it when i get it back and then after i get it all put back together. It just feels good putting a thirdgen back on the road looking close to the way it did from the factory. Thanks guys!
