Thanks bud, I appreciate it!

Its really not that hard. You just need to know the basics, and then you just get used to it, and learn along the way. Im still a nooby at it, Ive done my share of painting but Ive only been doing it for a little over a year now. Learning along the way and getting better with each job that I do, after all Im only a 20 year old college kid still so I dont think Im doin too bad.

And thats were Im at now. In all the pics the clear was pretty much dry, so thats how they will be lookin once I put them back together.

Gonna do a light 2000 or 1000/2000 wet sand to them tomorrow and then do an easy buff with rubbing compound and polish. Save the waxing for when its all done. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Yours ended up being the ***** outta the bunch. It was the first one I sprayed, had something in my tank at first and I hit it with some paint and it got all ****ed up. Had to sand the shit out of it for a while. Ended up puttin lots of paint on it though and it just might be the smoothest lookin one in the bunch now.

Well, now I dont have an excuse to not start building the box. All I really need is a little bit of bondo and a sheet of wood. Oh, gotta fine tune the design too. Maybe Ill get started this week if I have time. Gonna be painting the front of the box the same jet black too.

Ive been lookin for another motor, but then if I add another, its a whole build in, adding all that weight again......I dunno, if I ever change vehicles with the setup I will, but I think for this car, for now, its enough. If I get my truck goin though then who knows //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
