Default wtf.... got mad....then

so i was gonna mess around in the engine bay since i'm waiting around for my intake and a few other parts from the p-coater and i stepped back to view the car.... the sun was right and the blue pearl was blingin' and then i noticed the rear marker light (that i shaved and glassed over).....WTF...... in the right angle, u can see..... damnit..... so now that's one more thing i have to fix next winter when i redo the paint and fix all the stuff the painter/body guy didn't do....... so since i was mad, i took apart the rear end again and began painting a few things......... so i guess it was a productive day.......

You know, I remember way back when your car was simply a photoshoped idea, and I was just looking at your pic gallery... Your project sure has come a long way. It is starting to look like that 'concept' drawing from so long ago.

yeah.... took me alot of work to get it where it is today...... i'm still in the process of changing things again..... once i get a garage/space i'm going to redo the interior and body work.......i might even paint it myself next time...... i torn the engine down again to upgrade pulleys but ended up buying more parts...... i had a good job for about 2.5 years so i was able to buy new things when needed....work stopped about a year ago so i counted pennies to finish it up to drive last summer.....i want to buy another project vette and really mod it out and slam it and tuck some 22's in the rear....hahaha..... do a body drop on it too and chop the windshield......sittin in the weeds...... but i need to get a space and money for grad school so that's first....... maybe i'll turn a vette into a thesis for grad since i'm going for industrial design.... that would be nice......

thanks for the compliments........

more pics too...b4 and after
