great on the repair.

V6 = juvenile delinquency!

No that's how it was originally with the pinstripes. My car always had pinstripes but when they painted the car they had to put them on becaue the rest of the car had them! Lol

Looks great :D  I guess the paint mis-match was because they didn't wash the rest of the car. Be thankful the car doesn't have metalic paint as it is near impossible to get the re-spray to match the paint on the car.

BTW what is that black stuff all over the inner fenders? Some kind of undercoat?

As much as I like the 4 eyes over the 87-88s I really like your car. I think it is because it reminds me of how clean my car was when I bought it... I miss those days.

Paint looks great. I was a little worried about the paint myself but it looks amazing. I would clay bar and buff the  out of the old paint. In the long run the old paint will fade before the new stuff. I dont think you will have to worry about it too much since you do a great job keeping it up.

Where are you going to school?

Thats what I was wondering. Alot of people let there car go when they go away to school because it isnt as easy to clean up when you live in a closet and park in a lot
