One of my last photo shoots before putting my 7 away for the winter....56k NO WAY

I forgot that I had taken some pictures of my 7 before putting it away for the winter and I thought that I'd share some of them with you guys. Let me know what you think. The camera is a simple 6.2M Olympus point and shoot from a couple of years ago, my tripod is a Wal*Mart special ($20).

Nice! You just need to coat your lenses a little bit more so you don't have any bleed thru of the light. Also how are your front corners set up? Almost looks Aus or European style just with the all amber lense instead of the clear lense with amber insert like mine

It's all amber, is that strange?

Awesome shots! Don't need a great camera, just a careful eye and some basic skills. You are making me want to take off all my side moldings, it looks so clean.

Is it hard to get all of that adhesive off the paint without damaging it?

The vehicle was purchased with the side molding off. I'd imagine that it wouldn't be too hard with a heat gun to remove the molding and then some adhesive remover to remove the two sided tape that they use to hold it on.

I get mixed responses on the tail lights. They were on my 82 when I purchased it, and since the tail lights on this car were broken out when I purchased it, I swapped in these because I had them, and I don't think they look too bad.

They were custom made by the guy that I purchased my 82 from (my 82 rusted out and was stripped out of all parts before being sent to the scrap yard). The lenses were pulled off of the lights and the round portions are made from industrial fluorescent light covers that are spray painted. They are held together with epoxy.

Yeah they don't look too bad at all. The clear doesn't look bad at all but I still prefer mine though
