How much did the paint end up costing you?

Tinted tails for sure!

She looks beautiful...

That looks great, Mike.

Thanks guys.

I don't know what I'm going to do about the exhaust tips yet. That'll probably come after I make a clip on kit for it.

Everything out the door was $1400 and that's base clear with a fair amount of bodywork.. A baseball sized rust spot/hole going from my passenger wheel well into the trunk, two small rust holes along the rear passenger side wheel well arch, all door and 1/4 dings, shaving the trunk and antenna, and a dent on the side of the hood that I accidentally made when installing it.

More important than the price was I knew the body guy and the painter is a good friend of mine. It was much easier to have someone else work on my car in that respect..

I'm going to do something with the tails. More than likely clear the amber and tint the tops. I still have brand new OEM SSEi tails that have never been mounted. I won those in an ebay auction a couple years back.. I still feel kind of guilty putting them on though. But I don't what to get rid of them. I also really need to buff out the headlights. They're in sorry shape from all the bodywork going on around them.

I didn't take any pics but I got the driver side rear reflector on and the last passenger side molding on tonight after work. I also have all the rear bumper trim now and I'm on my third try at ordering the front. Two companies had the trim listed but don't stock it anymore.

So all that's left is the bumper trim, the drivers side moldings, the door to window trim and the rocker moldings. The window trim and rockers are still at the shop though.

Looks great, man.

Very good price. I know I wouldn't do it for that!

Man, I love this car! Looks GREAT!

I wish I had the time and money right now to fix mine up. So much I want to do. Someday though, I will get it all done.

Here it is together for the most part:






I love the sheen of this paint.

Looks super good, Mike! What are you going to do now that the car is finished, or do you have other plans in mind for it?

Thanks.

It will probably be like this for a while. I don't really have much time to do anything with it.

Wow. Your car is amazing.So much custom and original work. My car is really in need of a paint job as well.What is the name of the body shop that did your work because i'm not to far from where your are.

Thanks.

I got it done at a corporate Maaco I use to work at. (7673 Frankford Avenue Philadelphia)

I'm good friends with the panter and I know everyone there. It's not your typical scuff and shoot Maaco and since I knew the people I felt more comfortable having them do the work.

This is without a doubt the best looking Bonnie on here IMO. LOVE IT!

Holy "c2a9"!!!! the car is gorgeous!!!!!!!!

I may have to drive the ole green car up there and let your paint & body man work on my car. - BC

(EDIT - I can't spell!)

Thanks guys. Here's a few pics and a vid since then:

I'm still working on it as of late.

i havent checked on this ride in a while and im loving what you've done with it! but i have one question...wheres the battery or was it just left out on that shot???

Thanks.

The battery and ABS are both hidden.

Whats with the dual coolers?

Ever plan on top swapping?

One is for engine oil and the other, transmission fluid. Both have thermostats in line.

No heat gun for me. This is high compression n/a build.

Although I have seen these pics when we were discussing my drop, I am still amazed at the level of work in this car. You sir are a skilled individual. Keep up the good work.

What kind of power do you think you're putting down with that beauty?
