Default Awww yea, so clean....

damn, I hate having stock wheels on for the winter.... anyway, a few pics of the G coupe in it's "stock-look"... (Brembo's are gone..back to stock for the winter, then the 4wheel stoptech's sitting in my garage go on (and the bronze TE37's waiting for some rubber). I can't wait.


P.S. this was after about 10 straight hours of washing, drying, alcohol'ing, claybar'ing, alcohol'ing (wiped down with alcohol 70/30 mix), menzerna compound, menzerna final polish II, and then 3 coats of blackfire sealant...and of course taking the wheels off to clean them.







........and a few others...




.....and some from the other day behind my house at Lowry AFB's old Hangar #2

Because in Japan that car is a Nissan. Here in America people don't want to pay 40 grand for a nissan, Infinity sounds more justifiable.

That's right! The "shockkkka"!


In everywhere but the US and Canananananda (eh?), the car is a Nissan Skyline 350GT (chassis is the "V35"). I made it what it "really" is.



...and yes, just about 10 hours is what it took. Perfecting a black car is tough. If it were a light car, it would probably have been half the time or less. Black (or dark colored cars) and red cars are about the hardest there are to make perfect because they show every imperfection.
