My 740...finally

[Jeph430]

Had the car since this summer, was a real piece of work when I got her. Just wans't taken care of as well as she deserved. The body is good, but the clearcoat is beginning to peel. Front and rear were nasty, but I think I've done a pretty good job cleaning her up. The engine is still under wraps, but it's almost done. Some more bead blasting tonight and then some polishing and it should be done. I will put up pics soon for that. Let me know what you think....

Nice car. Put some rims on & drop that thing to the ground.

Rims are comming as soon as I get my Hydras for around $300. I've got a few different people I'm trying to deal with on them, just waiting for PM's back... I don't have nearly enough patience... :grrr:

Why yes, I did paint them! But it's made for that, it's by VHT called Nite Shades. You can still see the light through them, so it's all good and legal. Just make sure the lens is good and clean, and apply it in super thin coats. It seems to get alot darker after it is dried.

very nice brick. Now paint those bumpers the color as the car and slap a turbo on that puppy and you will be having some real fun.
