me and my dad painted it. its not perfect, but its getting there. Im going to buy a high speed polisher/buffer and buff the whole thing after i wetsand it again with 1500 or so grit paper.

It does sit high, but usually not that high. Then again theres no hatch glass, ground effects, bumpers, fenders, lights, or interior in the car right now. And its out of gas

The way its going right now, the cars still not soming out of garage till January. I want to have everything but the 6 speed done before i start driving it again. (spohn SFC's, 4 point cage, and edelbrock performer nitrous.)

Its gettin there slowly but surely. We have the booth again this weekend to do the rest of the body parts (hatch, spoiler, bumpers, ground effects, etcc..)

I'll post some more pics of it tonight when i get home.
