Now, the car is being painted Riviera blue. It took me a long time to decide the color being a graphic designer and all but I feel like I picked a color that is just perfect for me. I'm keeping the chrome trim but deleting the lower trim. I also deleted the front side reflector holes as well as some of the bumper holes. I'm putting the big bumpers back on but I told the body guy to delete a number of bumpers holes on the side of the car and around the back. I plan on eventually getting early bumpers and when I do, I wont have those ugly big holes on the side of the car. The only problem with deleting some of the bumper holes right now is that the rubber accordion bumper things will have to be attached without the bolts, I'm thinking I can hack the bolts off and use some strong 3m tape. maybe?? Below are some picture of the car. The guys at Uptuned auto in Glendale did a hell of a job cause the car I dropped off to them was rusty and had more bondo on it than paint. Oh, Uptunded auto also did a hell of a job spraying the engine bay with the engine in!. I know you all may be displeased with this information but I'm on a budget, with no garage and no patience to pull the motor out and do an lengthy retoration. Plus I want to drive it, A LOT and NOW! Hope you enjoy the pics and hit me up if you're interested in a shirt.
Cheers
