Right now its staying liek that, I would prefer for it to go into a shop and get a real sexy shiny black paint job, but I cant afford it. And I couldnt handle the white. So this is how it will be for the next year or so. When i get it all running smoothly i will start on the interior and paint. Then I will be giving to my fiance and i will then get me my TII. WOOHOO
I got some more pics, I will post in a bit!

Nice job with the paint, but definately try a gloss.. i think you'd like it alot better, but in any case, nice craftsmanship..

hey Dana sorry. It was some spring in side the tranny or something, I guess the tranny needs to be rebuilt. It is on 170k. So i replaced the ACT with a oem clutch to ease the strain on it so it can last until I can afford to buy a new one or get it rebuilt. While it was there Ihad the guy give me a new rear main cuz it was leaking, exhaust gasket uhm and i put in new plugs and wires. I still cant figure out this runing rich problem tho. I replaced everything but the air filter. Soemone suggested i get the injectors redone at RC.whattya think?..... Anyways I chose the flat black because I liek the rough beater look. Its a project car... so I want it to look liek one for now. Uhm what i did was buy some scuff pads and scuffed teh clear coat off the car, then sprayd with about 8 cans of bumper black, or bmper trim some ppl call it.

We have some "aerosol car paint" stuff where i live. I might give it a shot on a fender and see how good it looks, comes with 3 coats (primer, base, and clear coat polish like ****).
