Before and After.....
Before and After.......I look at the before from time to time to justify
(in my mind) that it is a good thing to have saved this car.

Those kind of shots are always great to look at and they go over big time with folks at shows. Be sure to throw them all in an album and take 'em there to display (and for bragging rights, of course).

Those look awesome! We just need more before and after like these. I can only offer what I have as before and after and it is not a when I found it and not in service look... One day though. I have a really rough looking before shot of my 87 DPS SSP and it will look totally different when it's completely restored.

My hat is off to those who have to deal with crappy repaints because it adds a lot more work to the whole project, esp. dealing with the overspray. |

Here are a few more as for the crappy paint and over spray (on my car) it came up
with duct tape applied and than pulled up fast door jams and under the hood that were not sanded ....This really came off fast! Matt when your car is done you will be looking at the before pictures kinda like I am....i am saying it had that air cleaner on it???? what a mess! Chris.....The holes are rivets for the Big (did i say big) i meant to say the Really BIG air scoop it had when i brought it home.I would not drive the car with something that looked like a LARGE Microwave oven on the hood so the first thing i did was drill out the rivets and cover the HOLE with magnetic sign material and that is how i drove it till i found another hood!
