Smile Had some paint work done on the CYM, comments welcome!!
Had some work done this past week on the ol' CYM, had the rear quarters, hatch, new R1 wing and rear bumper repainted since as you will see in the pics the paint was a bit faded and well, missing. I also had some of those nasty emblem holes filled up. So I picked the car up from the body shop Monday and here are the end results, I will post the old pocs first then the new ones, later guys.

I kinda was running really rich one weekend and shot some 3 foot flames which scorched the bumper real bad and the paint eventually fell off, lol.

Well I only got the rear half of the car painted, rear quarters back, hatch, had the dents removed, a little bumper repair where I managed to melt it right under the tailight and the little emblem holes filled and it cost me $580 for all of it.

There are plenty of FDs in Iowa, you just need to know where to look.
