That's a lot of work
a lot of sweat
and a lot of cuts and bruises
BUT ALL WORTH IT

i know it's nowhere near perfect, but i'm trying it on for looks and i think i like it
so i might have to spray that silver, then tape it off when i get the car painted... not sure yet

 

[Brett]

i think it looks nice

 

[HotRodKid]

Edited.

 

[SinisterSHO]

I also like poultry.

what is your compressor for? I have an idea for one in cars, that has nothing to do with the suspension

you would be correct, has absolutely nothing to do with suspension... and it is very loud

[n8rsk8r]

ohhh..

 

[EthoSHO]

and there very fricken loud.

 

[Michelle]

I second the loudness.

 

[ilikepoultry]

i didn't think 160 Db was that loud...
but now my regular horn is like... ftw?? is there even one there?

i'm working of buffing and waxing it and getting the sho stuff re-painted
(it came off while pressure washing)

after washing my buffing pad 12 times, the roof finally looks DECENT
i still need to get some sap off though



I ALSO have a way to get RID of the yellowing effect the cars are beginning to suffer!
it's in a yellow bottle
it's basically a buffing solution
it's at Wal-Mart
and all you need to do is get a clean cloth, rub a "large" amount on and rub it in WELL, then go on shoforum for a half-hour or so, come back, wipe off, and it looks the sexys

pics for a look:

it isn't new, but for 40 minutes of work and $2 in cleaning stuff, you can't go wrong

there's also a definate improvement in night visibility with the cleaned light... it's almost like i had my brights on

Looks good. I normally wet sanded them and used plasticX on them.

Before repainting the paint in the SHO lettering, scuff it with a scuff pen. You can get them at a local car pars store.

and spend the extra 10 or so $ and get the primer and clear coat. It will be worth it in the long run. Unless you like painting as much as Mike does :laugh_ti:

 

[HotRodKid]

^^^ you dont need to prime properly scuffed old paint thats still in good condition

you also dont need to clearcoat paint thats single stage
