Not a build thread, but a REFURB thread.....

[youther]

Well to make an even longer story short, steve sprayed the spots and then cleared them. Low and behold they stuck out like a sore thumb and there were several on the car. So now comes plan B. He has me go to the local decal shop and buy a roll of decal tape. You know, the white tape that they place on decals so that you can place them on things then pull it off after the sticker is smoothed on. It's semi-transparent.

It's vacation time for me and my family At this point I am at my whitts end and had already made my mind up that I was calling it quits with the paint if this didn't work. So I leave for Forida while he agrees to work on the car while I'm gone.


He takes semi-transparent tape and covers the flames and cuts around the flames wth a razor. When he was done all of the flames were covered. He sanded the entire silver part of the car and repainted the silver.

When he took off the tape he had left a gap between the flames and the silver and it was obvious. What was left was a line of the old silver around all of the flames and the new silver. Also not to mention that in several areas he cut too deep with the razor and it cut al the way to the metal in areas.

So I come back from Florida two weeks later and go and look at the car. And for above reasons I decide to put the brakes on the project. I have spent almost $3,000 in paint and supplies and have nothing worthy of showing. I figure cut my loses now because everytime he does something he needs more supplies to fix problems.

So I take the car home and put it in the garage for a few weeks and weigh my options and try to regain the 10 years or so that I have lost off of my life over this whole ordeal.

Below is what it looked like. It's a 20/20 car.....LOL! It doesn't look too bad from a distance. I even post a pic of it on here just to see what people think about. People post that they like it but I figure everyone is just being nice as usual......LOL!
