Anyways... looks like everything is coming along fine, keep at it!!
Most people just assumed I did things a certain way. I'm not giving credit to them for that like the bondo... I did weld prior to fill the holes. Also a lot of people are not reading the whole thread with questions already being answered. I give to PPGFREAK and a few others that actually dropped things to make me think a little!!!

And yeah I am trying ! Thanks.

Damn your brave man.

If my dad or mom came up the street and saw this sitting in the driveway, they would probably **** a brick..



Good luck man.

yes ahaha, my mom wants to discard me as her child. My dad has done similar to 3 other cars.... so he just is a critic but is amazed that I did this in two weeks . I don't recommend this to anyone like me... with no prior experience Lots of headaches,energy drinks, frustration.

^I understand the parents. When I was 17 me and my best friend pulled his s10 in my garage and we started c-notching the frame to put bags in it His dad should up and said "what the fvck are you doing to a bran new truck" so we said "oh its ok we saw it in low rider magizne"

The more time you spend building a car the more you will love it when your done. Headaches,energy drinks, frustration, its all worth it at the end. Good for you man, you have more b@lls then most people. The only kinds of builds I do are what most people think are crazy. I could not drop off my car at a shop and hand them my credit card and say "call me when its done" not my style. I like to build my car my self. Nothing feels better when you do the mods your self. People feel great when they spend two hours putting on a spacer or double din kit. Try spending six months making a car the way you want it to look. Best feeling in the world! imo

Looks very nice, but like the others have said do not skim on the prep, and also the final wash and taping. Get your self some good pre paint solvent to wipe the car down, and use gloves and a tac rag.

Thats so funny about the s10 ahaha nice job! But YES! So happy your here and share the same theory I do. I would much rather do it all myself if I had the tools and work area. I hate bringing my car to let other people work on it. Thanks for the help!!!!

Yes I understand after all the work I have done I want to make sure I do the last important steps.


** The plan is sometime late this after noon I am going to have to drive down to the body shop / booth. Then I will began the proper cleaning / tear the car back down. Then I will tape the rest of the day.

** Friday Finish tapping and making any last minor changes / check over and do the final wash with solvent.

**Saturday prime / sand

**Sunday paint

**monday take her home i hope!

I am guessing that is going to be the schedule.

I always liked the quote "Some people buy their toys. Some people build them."
