Cashed in on X-Mas Present-Car Painted
The wheels have to go but here it is fresh out of the oven (literally). My uncle was nice enough to convince his boss to let me borrow a 5 month old paint booth and their painter, all I can say is that boy is a magician.

and if that doesn't work there's more here from start to finish.

Its actually 2002 covette electron blue pearl mettalic. It looks even better in person. the pictures just don't do it justice.
It took 7 coats to cover it, because the color is so translucent. But it was well wroth the extra effort.

Re: Cashed in on X-Mas Present-Car Painted (Metal_Wulf)
Thanks guys, I can't wait for the engine to return from the machine shop. But its going to take some work to put it all back together. I still have to create the dash board, wire harness, exhaust, fuel cell, and the list keeps on going and going and going and going and going.....well you get the picture....

You'll have to click on the links but I would imagine from time to time I am going to hit the allowed bandwidth usage limits on Geocities so you'll have to come back to it in an hour or so.
