Low quality pics from a shitty camera but you get the idea.

Got all my bin rust fixed. and the paint turned out pretty damn good. a few imperfections here and there but overall, quite nice.

 

Oooh, that is beautiful. I've always wondered how a 1st Gen would look in silver. I like!

 

Looks awesome, that was the look I was going for with my stock body, but it was going to just be too expensive to get done.

 

Thanks. he did a pretty good job matching the factory "sunbeam silver"..........

 

I luv silver FB's

 

Nice Did you ask for the side molding to be left off?

 

yessir.

Max7's car and this silver one are the two that convinced me that no moldings was the way to go.

 

Here's how the faded biatch used to look.

 

That silver looks awesome with the finished rims.

 

thats fing gorgeous

 

looks real good..gotta be happy about it's looks now i'm really liking the trim removed look..I believe I will go the same route in july..sans trim

 

I was never a fan of removing factory moldings. I thought it devalues the car, "unitl i saw you pics!". I think the car looks great and more modern without the moldings, great choice for the car.

 

nice nice how much did it cost you?

 

I think I got a good deal. I went through the guy that does alot of stuff for my work.
I told him what I was after and gave him all the time he needed.

I got all the bin rust fixed proporly with new metal welded in, lots of wet sanding, several coats of factory paint code base, and several coats of clear for $1600.

Thanks for all teh kind words.

 

i removed the moldings and filled in the markers lights when i repainted.

 

it would look better if you put the pin-stripin back on to highlight the major body lines

 

I agree with the pin stripe. Put a thin black one on the top body line.

 

That looks great! My plan is to evantually paint my car the factory 83 limited edition silver once I get all the body work done. I was also debating to side molding or not ...and I think my mind is settled on no moldings. Nice car!

 

Been thinking about pin striping again.

I kinda liked the red one it had when I bought it..............

 

what did you do to have the wheels refinished. i have a SE project that is about to get going and i am looking for a place to have my wheels refinished

 

Not yet. They are in very good shape though.

I'm going to have them redone at some point (I love SE wheels and want a perfect set!) I'm also in the market for a place to do it at the moment.

 

ahhhh ok. i was thinking about having mine chromed but i saw the ones on here that a guy had done and although it looks kinda neat, im gonna stay with the original machined look

 

NICE PAINT JOB MANG!!!!! i really love that look.

 

very nice, good job. I kinda like the look of no pinstripe, the car has good lines on it's own.
