HMM SHAVED?...and interior

[Dark Syde Racer]

well finally got around to getting a few more pix developed at walmart....so i scanned em in....supposedly i should be getting a "birth day suprise" so im hoping my hood is the suprise so we can hook everything back up...but yah here are the pics (car is a bit dusty since they were taken right after priming it and shaving the front end and rear end)










yah i kno i know it needs paint....going in later this week...made the appointment decided on black with red pearl....

well since i have done everything myself (with help from 2 of my boys) i cant complain 2 much....seeing as it was a undrilled fiberglass kit (blue) and all..we put that on...the Eibach touring springs, shaved everything up front and back, primed it ourself, i did the Kemeleon paint inside and out, i put the exhaust on....and some other stuff..only thing i havent done myself was the custom hood being done (had a shop make it and its still being done), and some of the carb work....and running certain go fast goodies...the rest has been done in my garage or my boys garage...not too bad i must say :bandit:

One thing I always wondered about molding in the kit is what happens if you need to take the bumper off? Wouldn't it tear all the paint and stuff up?

[Dark Syde Racer]

yah lol....unfortunantly...but its all good tahts y we have bondo and fiberglass and lots and lots of paint

You should think about taking the moldings on the doors off and filling them in. Cars look cleaner with them off to me.

[Dark Syde Racer]

i was going for that next but is the door just like sticky tack craped on there or are there clips?

[marked001]

there's clips...if you dont wanna break em, you gotta pull the interior panels...but since you wont be needin g em..yank em off

what's the deal with no side skirts? I know they didnt fit, but are you not going to get any?

[Tony]

Don't rip the side trim off unless you want to straighten out the metal also. I did that to mine and all around where the clips were the metal is bent Im sure you can get a tool to take them off instead of taking the interior pieces off.

Car looks good though, I wouldn't have molded bumpers just for the reason of not being able to take them off, but its your car. I like the interior.

[marked001]

if you take the moldings of...definitely fill the gap if you can...

[Dark Syde Racer]

actually im waiting for my invader side skirts right now....

[Tony]

yea, but an easy way to make it look better till he gets rid of them is to just paint them also, it doesn't look as bad as with them being black
