What I was hoping people would notice is that the signal lights are working!!! YAY Team! I'm not going to say what caused me grief for a week, I will say that it was an obvious fix...

The flames are a joke I hope. Because she looks clean as hell and putting flames on it might get you banned

Update: Painting the car this weekend...I excite!

Door handles painted.


Coated with matte clear, to protect the paint.

Masked.


I prepared the door handle areas and the gas cap area with extra coats of paint, those areas will see lots of abuse.

Tail and marker lights painted (tint paint).

Second coat didn't go so well, too much thinner and it pebbled...sanding it down and I will try and get the paint consistency better next time.
