Lookin good Felix! Grey primer dosn't look so bad on that car. Put some clear coat and you're done! just don't forget to sand the paint off your 3rd brake light. some cops don't like it when you primer it over like that!

Keep on being the inspiration for us all.

This is coming along extremely well! Like many others have said, i didn't think i'd ever see it one color.
Oh, and why didn't you primer the front bumper?

Hey, Dustin, You're at least planning a two-tone paint job for it, right? Anything else would be illogical, i think

Looks good, I'm glad that re-rebuild is working out for you.. I had to do the same thing with my engine, just not for 3 or 6 thousand miles..

Looking good man! Don't worry, some day I'll get those pictures drawn for you. Right now I've got a lot of things happening in my life, so I haven't been able to do any.

Too bad there aren't any sick taillights on there... haha.

Good work man. If you plan on driving that thing around you should definitely paint the front bumper just for steez points, lol.

Great Job Dustin

Brings a tear to my eye seeing how far you've come with the Skittle. I also find it quite ammusing someone with your knowledge still can't even legally drive - even with a guardian at this point =)

Why is the bumper still blue?

Also - i certainly hope your parents are going to foot the paint job after all the work you've done =)

Great job Dustin!
