Yep the entire car is getting a re-spray. Based on what I am having done my body guy figured it would be easier to spray the entire car.... This way no worry on blending in.....

Looking good Wayne. I thought I recongnized that car even though I wasn't used to your "new" handle.

Can't wait for summer!

An old trick Zilla showed me...I picked up a perforated aluminum sheet at MetalSupermarkets and used it make the screens for the entire car..




I used a piece of cardboard for the general shape then cut out the pieces and used a dremel to round the edges and make it fit. Then used JB Weld for the side vents and brakes ducts to hold it in place

Very nice.... You wouldn't happen to remember the dimensions of the rear brake screens. I'm going with rase mesh screens and going to see if I can get some extra stock to make them for back there.

Would love to Wayne, however, I will still probably be buried at work as a result of spending 10 days in the US Virgin Islands visiting my baby girl going to school down there this semester. The worst thing about vacations is coming back!!!

I'm sure we'll get together sometime! Have a GREAT trip!!!

My kids travel the world and their mother and I stay at home and pay the bills usually. Finally one went somewhere that I WANT to visit. Will spend my birthday on March 1 basking in the tropical sunshine. CAN'T WAIT!

Hey Wayne & Lori! I have nothing to add other than to say that I am anxiously awaiting your new "look"! It will be an inspiration to me for my tired old stock car.

A very exciting time for you indeed! Don't you just love the butterflies of mod fever?!? Can't wait to see the car out of paint. I've been eyeballing those brake ducts for a while myself, and come to mention it those wide fender flares, and . . Where does it end?!?
