LOL , sorry bro, I'm not going to rush this one.   I dont what to get it done , then look at it and say
( boy I sure wish I'd just spent a little more time on that spot. )   WE ALL SAY IT..

it will get its first coat of paint before it comes apart.  this one will be painted 2 times.  the first coat will be wet block sanded , to look for the really small waves and low's.  (how picky is that?)

Looking great Doug. If you leave it the way it is right now you can turn it into a hover car. Just a thought.

It looks awesome already in my opinion :) And it will be one AMAZING T\A when it's done :)
"79 Trans Am tenth Anniversary Edition"
"81 Turbo Trans Am"
Sad to see that people part out T\A's :( especially saveable ones

thanks guys.

I worked on the tail lights today.  I took apart the one and cleaned and painted the inside with silver caliper paint. and on the lens I used s silver paint marker.  the other lens is the original chrome, but will still take it apart and clean and paint the inside. and touch up the chrome
