Alright, clear coat on the final parts and painting is DONE! I still have to rattle can the trim/molding in SEM trim black, but other then that!

Now onto taking the body back off the frame for the FINAL time, and a whole lot of wet sanding and buffing.

Wow, seeing that car all done up really put a bug up my *ss for paint, lol. I am dying to get mine painted. Looks absolutely gorgeous, fantastic work. I'm staying tuned.

Its a long ways from finished. But it is a nice relief to have the paint done.

Got some of the trim and tail lights put back on. Also started work on the 9 inch for the car.

Man does that look good. What size rubber do you have stuffed under the rear?

Man I'm envious of that color. ...

I got to work on the frame today. Got all of the TNT chassis braces welded on, and got both sides of the frame cut, and the drivers side welded back up. Still need to cap the ends. And take a little more out of the passenger side (glad I test fit the rear in there!!) Anyhow, onto the pictures! We all like pictures 🙂
