yeah, i definitely wanna get one going. we need to determine a good middle ground. maybe hooters off arden or somethin.

as for goodies on my car, here's a single shot. not even close to done, but i thought i'd post a pic anyway of the first part of the makeover

Those fenders are pretty sick! I am going for a new look this summer as well
I need to roll the rears and also need to get a front lip at some point.

lol lets just say it took 5 hrs of prep almost. if not more. and still coulda used some attention. but its fine for now till i get it all done professionally. but thanks guys

fender rolling is a breeze if you can rent an eastwood fender roller. theres tons of walk thru videos on youtube if you've never used one. if you havent, all i can say is make sure its hot with a heat gun, and go slowwwwww lol

i could have done all the prep for you haha but let the clear coat sit for a few days, in the sun if possible, before doing a final wet sand and polish cuz the clear will naturally shrink and harden and after that wet sand with 1500 or 2000 (preference really) and then polish with a legit polisher and it will look perfect!

PS: sorry about not getting the rear pics up yet!!

ahhh yeah, im waiting a few weeks for the clear to chill, and me to get a new front. its just gonna sit in my garage, it gets pretty hot in there. once thats done, im gonna go buy a buffer and wetsand the fenders, then clay bar, and buff the whole car.
