    Over the top amazing. I would love to see the steps involved. I get lost just looking at the lines let alone laying them up and painting them. I think i had a seizure looking at it. I just got up of the ground to finish this sen...............................fuck there it is again.

    One word ... unbelievable.

    Your tape work is impeccable. Looks like a computer-designed stencil.

    yup...

    two racks..

    two batts in each tucked as far inside as they could get..

    it was my first hydro install im actually super proud of it even tho its really basic LOL.. had a friend help me weld the racks together after i cut everything and figured out how i wanted it.. its super easy to work on and leaves LOTS of room..

    well groucho.. im pretty sure i have the body plans nailed down..

    shaving just the impala emblem on back upper quarter and the engine V emblem on the fenders... leaving everything else.. redoing all the trim, and some parts gettin engraved.. some of that is even already done waiting..

    then just respray the stock white, but bury some pinstriping under the clear.. thinking panel striping the whole car then scroll around the handles and in other places.. and also probably change to the rear antennas.. and add the skirts i have tooo.. just nice and CLEAN...





    im toying with the idea of grand prix handles... but idk yet.. groucho i know you know which ones im talkin about LOL

    if i can sell enough crack (well not really but i wish LOL), or really hustle enough money i hope to have teh body and trim all done by spring... and interior by mid summer.. itll be a real grind especially since i dont have the ability to work OT... but there is a show in august that i wanna have it all done for..

    Good work, but why did you do more clear between the flake and candies? Wouldnt it have been alright after the first clear...? I love the look of some of these paint jobs but sometimes theres alot of product going on.

    Also what did you do/use when spraying the flake on?

    ^^^^ cause he had to lay a few miles of tape in between and it wouldnt have sticked as well over the ruff flakes^^^^
    Just to say one reason.
