Ground Effects Are Finally Installed
Man, I've been talking about this for over two months, and now that they're on, I'm just gonna shut up and post some pictures.........Keep in mind we finished this at about 9:00 at night, so I wont have any really good pictures till tomorrow. (The last shot shows just how low my car really is now in comparison to my cell phone)
I'll get some better pictures of it tomorrow in the light. And my hood will be done in less than two weeks.

Thanks you guys,.....I can't believe they're finally on the car after all the previous threads I posted regarding the phone calls from my painter. (giving me all his excuses) I told him he has one more chance to make it up to me, and prove that he can deliver my parts in a reasonable amount of time. So, I told him he has two weeks to finish my SS hood or I would take it to someone else. (He has his kids till Sunday afternoon, so I told him don't worry about it till then.)
We're going to test fit it on Sunday evening and then he'll start the (smoothing/prepping) process for two hours each day after work until it's done. He said by Friday the 17th (St. Patty's Day) it will be smooth and in primer ready to paint and clear on Saturday. So, if everything goes as planned, the SS hood will be on the car Sunday evening!
The following weekend (the 25th) we're going to paint the C-panel (Roof) and side mirrors Black. I'm going to say realistically that the Flames probably won't go on until the middle of April. I know he's almost as excited about shooting the Flames on the car as I am about getting them. And "YES" they are definitely going to be like Grant's Concept......."Candy Tangerine" with Pearl Lime-green Tips and a nice bright Purple Pearl pin-stripeing around everything. It's kinda hard to picture but wait till you see it.
Sorry......I tend to type a lot when I'm excited. I'll post another thread with some better pictures of the Ground Effects.....I'll do it in the "F-Body Pictures" Forum in a few minutes. Thanks again for the comments.
