Finally got pics up.
Final bodywork
















Got the front bumper off, and found I need to do some repairs on the splitter support mounts.  Guess this is what happens when stuff breaks and you try and fix it quick with NO ROOM.






Primer








already had the silver and blue on at this point


Done.  Good thing I can sand out runs good lol.

Thanks guys!  Hopefully I can get some pics of it outside this week sometime, hopefully before more snow....Wed is calling for 3-5"

When I backed it out of the paint booth, I promptly got it stuck.  Hoosiers don't do well in snow!

Gumby, If I could figure out a good way to clean them, they'd be clean again.  All this brake dust is rusted on because of so much rain at events this year.  Hopefully this year won't be rainy again, since another car got its windshield cut off this winter lol.  Last year was a Solstice, this year is a Miata.

I only clean my race wheels when I check for cracks; I don't clean my race wheels often enough.....

lol.  As long as mine still hold air, I'm not too worried.  I figure they would crack around the welds.

Do have a few more pics



















Still have to sand and polish the roof, but that clear is so rock hard it kills my sandpaper right away.  Same way with the doors.  BTW I hate how the touch up paints come as a base clear now instead of just gloss black.  Makes it really hard to find where I touched up lol.

I'm going to be honest, I was pretty skeptical about how this would turn out looks-wise.  I'm glad to say that those flares turned out BAD ASS.  Good work man!
