Finally, my 2008 progress, new paint-etc.
Tuesday, August 05, 2008 7:03 PM
Well unfortunately I didnt make it for the bash , but i am now 90% finished with the car. As some of you remember it was arrival blue last year.

As for the mods i got Tokico D-specs, and now paint. The color is white-gold tricoat. This color is simply amazing in the sunlight. Id like to thank (tabs) for the new Razzi kit and tails, Jason@aplusperformance for the struts, and Clayton Bender for the trunk. Id also like to thank the JBO for ideas/info.

NOTE: Friday we are going to wetsand/buff the car, and the exhaust is going to be re-adjusted to fit better against the bumper. But on to the pics, here is some of my progress throughout the past couple months. I will get better, more scenic pics this weekend once were completely finished.

C&C welcome.









Before Paint



After Base Coat



After Pearl



After Clear



The finished product (except wetsand/buff)















Thanks for looking!

Why not shave the locks/antenna?

Gold, Bronze, Black or Gunmetal wheels would be so much better, chrome is gross...

Your overly used opinion of everything needing gold/bronze rims and a turbo is gross.

I love it Chad, I told you that a time or two. The pearl and the chrome go great, and the spoilerless rear with those tails looks amazingly clean.

Props on building an amazing j-body outside of the current sweet "trends".

oh my that looks absolutely amazing! I have always been of the opinion that white and chrome are such a wicked combo, great job!

i have to admit, at first i was skeptical when you mentioned the color you were going with

but after seeing it.....? @!#$ untouchable!

and the rims look 100x better with this color than they did last year. dont change them!

i would suggest a photoshoot out my way, but i wouldnt want you to take that some of the places that my car goes....i would hate to be responsible for the first paint chips

You being an overly used jackass is a "trend" that is gross....

Notice I said black or gunmetal as well, hell even silver would be fine, sorry my opinion that I don't like ballin' chrome rims, and that my opinion that anything made faster be it a Cavalier, S-10 or 1978 Malibu is good idea, is "gross" and a "trend" to you.

I'm sorry Mr. I Had My Car In A Magazine you must know everything and know exactly what everything needs, I just shouldn't post on the internet whatever I want because it's not the free world or anything. I don't visit JBOM anymore because of a certain member stealing from me and members attacking me for no reason, and this isn't the first time you've just attacked me for no reason at all, do you have a reason for being a jerk to me for no reason when I didn't do anything? I like still visiting this site because I like to see the progress of people that I've seen on the site for the over 6 years I've been here, and still like to post answers for people if I know them, and comment on members cars.

If I was a jerk or mean to you ever, or to people I could see you lashing out at me, but you just do it for what? Nothing I've ever done to you....

I've even helped a member with his car, and I paid for the stuff he needed and used my stuff and it was the first time I met him, and I didn't even have a job at the time. I'm nothing but a nice person and always been nice to you and you seem to always give me s#!t....

I love the

Car looks dope, but I hope you have intentions of painting the engine bay if you ever do any mods...thats all I gotta say.

Although im not a huge chrome fan, chrome and white is always sex.
