Thanks everybody! You can't really tell from the first pic but the car was pretty rough. You can see all the spots that were dings. It was the stock green for a '93, not sure what the name of it is. If all goes to plan were gonna tint the hell out of the tail lights, side markers and the fake fog lights today. Got black headlights to match. Ordered a set of chrome emblems were gonna tint for the "black chrome" effect. Only gonna use the L emblems on the front and rear. Wheels and coilovers are on the list, once my wallet recovers
But I gotta birthday in April so I'll be able to afford one or the other. Maybe both if I play my cards right. I've gotta find a way to remove the b-pillar covers so they can be painted to match. I thought they were just plastic but they appear to be stainless with a vinyl wrap that we can't prep for paint. Glad I'm not the only person who likes the color. Not bad for a bunch of hillbillies without a real spray booth. She'll look like 2 Hershey's bars having sex once we get it buffed.
I plan on hitting up Nestle, Hershey's, UPS and Swiss Miss for sponsorships. Maybe airbrush some marsh mallows floating in it.haha

I'll probly run the shark fin once I start missing the radio. The stock antenna was broken when I bought it so I've never listened to the radio in it, just cd's. That was more than enough reason to shave it. I've got a buddy that does all the electronic installs for cop cars in his area so I'll get him to work out something, gonna need a stereo setup eventually.

Thats what I was wondering, did the jams get painted and inside the engine bay, trunk, and the gas lid? Its different, but looks unique, that means good. What does the interior look like?

Hell yea I'm serious
Had a good rebuild day. The sun came out for a little while so we rolled it out and snapped some more cell phone pics. The color is beautiful in the sunlight.

The color looks incredible, your buddy that painted and gave you crap about the color was wrong.
