2020 C3 of the Year Finalist - Modified

Default New Paint Job. Tilt Front End

a couple of update pics. Still have to install the FIA headlights. Plenty of barn dust to "rub" out too, but I am not a painter, just own a paint gun. I am the old guy with dark hair...

Nice paint combo. Looking forward to seeing the finished product, especially with the side pipes.

Started color sanding tonight. The "dust" that was in the clear coat on the rear deck should be a non issue; thankfully!

Looks great! I am going for the vintage racer look also... You will have to post pics when you get the FIA headlights installed!

Looking good. Sidepipes will be nice as well. Are you keeping those wheels, or are they just "rollers"?

I figured as such. Torq Thrusts are fairly inexpensive used, as are aluminum slots. Both would look great on there...
