I finally rubbed (with the help of my cousins) out most of the car and limped it to the park today, this is my first nice paint job...ever...lol





















I thought this shot would be especially suited for this site

Thanks Raj

Damn Nick! That looks awesome! I can't believe you built that thing at home. Post pics under the hood, that's where the good stuff is.
