At least you don't have to help anyone move.

I don't know why anyone would care about this heap of dog shit.

Labor of love man. Others may see it that way but not us. We know better.

Labor of insanity, I'm pretty sure you have to be carazy to put this much time and money into a worthless car. At least it's fun to drive. The good news is that it will make a good parts car when I'm finished with it.

I prepped/ painted the topside of my hood tonight... Let the dumb questions and flaming begin.




All ready for the first coat.




First coat.



Watching paint dry, my favorite part.



My partner in shine.

I went goofy on fumes...

Holy crap, I'm going to have nightmares tonight. Is this what happens to you when you paint your own car?

First dumb question: why are you painting a white car's hood black?

Pretty much, I actually enjoy working on my own junk.. I was also drinking for good measure.

I wanted to see more with just the black bumpers, but keeping the hood white. But I guess I should have figured you'd go for that contrasting top motif again.

I really like the ride height with the wheels in some of the page 4 pictures.

Paint dry and unmasked. The good news is that I like it.

I will install the new hinges/hood in a few days.

Oh, now I see. You had extra satin black paint from the 2002 burning a hole in your pocket.

Yes, I always have it in stock... I am a hot rodder not a purist, this should have been obvious long ago... Some people weren't meant to be gumshoes though.
