Well the car is almost completed. The black chrome paint is so expensive and difficult to put on that I had to order another pint of it have my wheels completed, two pints of it cost me almost $400 dollars. And it took 3 weeks of practice for my bodyshop to actually finally do the grille correctly.

What is left is the wheels, eyelid,s and back emblems and it will finally be done.

On Friday a clear bra will be installed and next week I am having the interior re-dyed. The wood has already been painted blackwood. At the end of the day, it is all probably over-kill but I love this car

 

Looks very nice! Keep us posted with pictures

Do you have a Thundercloud Edition or it is just the grille?

 

I have the fake thundercloud edition: I have the grille, wheels, and I painted my wood blackwood.

 

That's not a fake, it's an homage!

 

In my book, you have the TC edition and I am sticking to it! Nice.

 

Thanks.

I will update once the car is completed, which hopefully should be in the next 2-3 weeks. I did paint the rocker panels and right above the exhaust and it did come out looking pretty clean

 

more pictures, just to reiterate the wheels still need to be re-done in black chrome, so does the eyelids as well as the emblems on the trunk.

 

Love the Black Chrome. Great angle!

 

How did you paint the wood blackwood?

 

That is really well done. The interior is fantastic, did your body shop do that?

 

Thanks. Yes my body shop did it. I couldn't stand the burlwood in the car.

 

If anyone wants to paint their original rocker panels I think it's worth it, it really makes the car look a little sleeker.

 

Hey can you do a white balance fix on the images. There is a greenish tint to them. I do not even know what to think your car color really is.

 

It is from my camera phone, so I don't know if I can adjust it.
