I have been working on this for about 4 months and man it has been a very long and hard summer without the Z operating and being able to enjoy it but it turned out great and I thought I would share the photos with a community that enjoys nice cars and those that put sweat and blood into their projects like I did......hope you guys enjoy the pics.
How it started

then it got keyed




and the road ahead.....
















And now the finished product......


Now i just need to focus on the interior work and getting some much needed up grades but so far I think it is looking really good for next year shows.
And btw this was all done by me at my father n laws shop. I couldnt have done it with out him so special thanks to him for letting me use his materials and not having to pay anyone to do the work and paint the car, even though I do owe him for the paint and clear I used. Thanks Tommy V

yea the only way I would ever put stickers or graphics is if some one sponsered me or paid for them and put them on.....not a big fan of vinyl on car unless you are marketing the parts and that vehicle.....maybe though

lol, no but I am sure people do that kinda **** every day.....no my wife drove it to work at her bar on mothers day. I never let her drive it either and then the one day I do some dumb *** drunk keys it. Didnt know till the next morning and I was soo shaken up by it I couldnt even talk right for the first few minutes......trust me, I would have never done this and my insurance company didnt give me **** for my claim......$2500 bucks for a complete paint job. That would have paid for materials only and maybe a little body work........thanks for the assuming though....

well i am sure i will get hate for this but i went with a toyota super white.....paint code is 040 and it is way bright in the direct sun light.....i went with this color because I saw it on a supra and loved it. I think it looks amazing personally but thanks for all the comments guys.....I am sure you will see me more and more with tasteful mods in the future.
