I just got her back in the garage from the paint shop:


No... it's not really black, it just looks black.


You can kind of see the sparklies in this picture, but for some reason it comes out red, in reality it looks more golden brown.


More sparklies.

Without direct light on it, the car still looks black, out in the sunlight you can really see the sparkles. They're called diamond sparkles, so it's primarily a golden sparkle (through the rootbeer color) with hints of red and green.

 

LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! Now just pray nobody "keys" it or hits it with their door or car.............[:@]

Dusty

 

dusty you just jinxed him just kidding paint looks great.

 

nice one! i like that sparks. what else have you done aside from painting the body? did you add some accessories or some auto parts for customization?

 

if a built engine is considered "accessories", then yes, he did

 

looks like my Dustys bowling ball.. way to go old man.


jk man it looks pretty good.

 

Better pics man. Better pics. So we can see the real color. Lookin good though!

 

Thanks

Yea, I need to get someone that knows more about photography than "point and click" to take some decent pictures. All in good time though, there's alot of work left to do.

The new engine goes in on Saturday, then the car goes off to a local guy (http://www.metalmanfab.com) for some custom parts (tubular turbo manifold, pressure pipes, water to air aftercooler, intake manifold and a 4" cold air intake) I hope to get it back mid-march and then get it broken in and tuned to be hitting the track early April.
