a step further (pics)
The past couple of weeks I have really been thinking about my paint job. I have put so much time into it already I know im not going to be happy with just spraying the exterior. I want a complete color change. So I am taking it a step further and doing all edgine with all the body panels off. AKA take off everything that bolts on and paint the edges of it and than reassemble and spray the whole car. The engine bay is going to be a PITFA but im doing it anyways. My car should be show quality when im done b/c im having someone from my friends body shop spray it for me b/c they have like 10+ years of experience. Plans for the engine bay....pull the 305 out and replace it...with...a 350 (considering mild cam). I'm really excited about this. The engine is complete from carb to pan and i can get it for $300 from my friends dad. This does mean that I'm going to have to wait longer until my car is complete b/c ill have to save up more money but I'm cool with that. If I keep up the 2+ hours of work ive been doing everyday on my car the body should be perfect in a couple weeks. That one pic is a quick sketch I did of my car while I was taking a break. Could have been a lot better but I was rushing. Today I was focused on rust. BE GONE! Yeah theres basically none at all on the body now. After that I finally got my driver side window aligned how its supposed to be. Also pulled my radiator for a quick second and cleaned out the 5 lbs. of leaves that were blocking air flow in front of it lol. Color.... still deciding. Either hugger orange or some metallic blue color. What do you think? If you read this far. thanks lol

Lookin good man, I would say go with a metalic blue color, im getting kinda board with orange colors, your seeing so many on the road these days, mind you its a metalic orange, but still, I still think a custom mixed blue would be the ****.

haha i rarely see orange cars... except for like the dark orange on some new chevys and nissans. im leanin towards blue b/c i want my car to be noticed but not stick out like a sore thumb. know what i mean? haha the only things i have left on the car is the driver door, hood (just b/c i want my engine covered), and tonneau cover. should be pretty badass either way i decide to go.

Lookin good man. I think your car would look good in NBM like the 4th gens. I haven't seen a third gen in that color. I would also think a 4th gen interior swap with leather would be kick *** too.

whats NBM?
I thought about 4th gen interior...maybe center console and door panels if thats possible. third gen seats reupholstered in leather FTW. and i do plan on redoing the whole interior to black just so you all know. that will be later down the road though when i have money for dynamat and a lot of other stuff

if that color was metallic it would be perfect...can you add metallic to paint by any chance?
