fixen to go to paint...
We guy's I took it as far as I could... I'm turning it over to the pro to spay up nice. I figured I would put these before pics up so you could compare them to the afters when it's done. The painter applauded me on my fab skills and body work...woohoo cheaper labor and better paint job. I'm super excited!!!!!!

Re: fixen to go to paint...
Oh no more like 69 camaro style. If you look at the special edition prank thread there is a pic.

Re: fixen to go to paint...
ahh.. I've been struggling with the idea of doing a 69 Camaro front end as well. I have some Camaro front parts on the way to see what I can do... Lower front fenders and valance and front lower spoiler and might do the grille too. Its a daunting task to undertake, but hey... its only money and time right? Two things I don't have much of...

Re: fixen to go to paint...
Here is a preview of the headlight surronds i made. The white portion on the sides will have smoke acrylic hiding led turns. The edge will remain polished and the rest will be blacked out. I also have black headlights with halos and projectors. I left the thin ring that holds the lights polished as well. Im still trimming on the center portion and then it will go to the painter as well to be blacked out.

Re: fixen to go to paint...
Very nice work, looks great and I'm sure once its painted it will look even better. I am sorry to hear about your painters father. The Weld wheels look great! I have 15x8's on the rear and 15x7's on the front of my truck.

Re: fixen to go to paint...
I don't care if you only paid 100.00 if he agreed to paint the whole truck and do a great job then a great job is what you expect.

Re: fixen to go to paint...
I agree, he still owes me a cut and buff that will solve most of the issues. But there is one spot on the hood that was not feathered good and would need resprayed to fix. It gripes the bageebers out of me. Its in the white but I as well as any car/truck guy will spot it in a heart beat!
