Who wants to see FINISHED photos???

After 4 months & over $7000, its done. Thats with the exception of a new convertible top and final cutting & buffing.

I am very pleased with the results & I am sure it will look even better once I have it cut & buffed. Although, I am really upset about how much I spent on the project. I could have done ALOT of other things with 7k. I have been trying not to think of the total cost because I know it will take away from my happiness with the car. But I cant help to wonder if I could have gotten 85% of the results with 50% of the money buy doing it differently?


Either way... Heres what you have been waiting for.

FINISHED PHOTOS

I have larger resolution photos if anyone wants them.
