Was surprised that no wires were burned so it fired up with a battery and passed smog
We stripped out the windows,trim and lights before sent it to maacco to get painted i heard alot of things about them painting over everything so didnt want to chance it so we did all the prep work before we sent it in they did a good job on the paint

Are you going to paint the engine bay black? I would highly recommend to scuff them down and wet send with 600 grit then primer and wet sand again 800 then shoot it with 4 coats of clear.

Oh yeah, one more thing if you going to put the fenders back on leave them on for good because you will end up regretting it. Got damn scratches but no worries.

[worship] hell ya man this would be fun as shit and a lot of work but when done a nice burnout is in order [Whoo Whooooo!] [burnout] That GT is in pretty nice condition, not a big fan of the GT model but the two tone with the titanium silver on the bottom makes it look real good.

Please change tail lights on that GT [Smile] LX tail lights ftmfw
 
Posted by CoyoteMaster (Member # 13680) on :
