Snow flakes in the air inside and outside
« on: November 16, 2008, 06:41:48 AM »
Well the snow is in the air this morning and nothing better to do that what i started last night. I sanded my snowflakes down and shot them in some 2k primer in a few minuts im going to go outside and prep the primer and start to shoot them gold again it would be nice to get them snowflakes out of the air and back on the car. just one step closer to making the y88 look like one again.

well i got them finished around 8:30 this morning i must say they sure look better than white and with it being my first time ever spraying laquer they turned out pretty good. Been occupied with the kids for a few hours now as the paint is drying and my wife is "getting away" for a little bit. After she gets home i will take some pictures i guess i could go there now but shhhhh the kiddies are in nap time so perfect time to update you on progress. now almost all the snow is gone.... go figure i hate them time of the year. let it snow or let it be dry but F the wet stuff.

thanks jeff, what size is that so i know what to do in the future? btw excuse the dust on her and my messy garage. ive been trying to find a day to clean everything back into shape and all that perhaps the dust on the car will make me want to start to tear it apart and sand on it.

i bought this one from my buddy mid spring summer. all i did was drive it and buy some things along the way. its been more of flipping the what to do coin as i need some money right now and could really use a cheaper t/a though this is the cleanest t/a i have ever owned very very little rust on it at all.

I just used a photo editing program to shrink your pix from 3072 x 2304  to 1000 x 750 pixels  .


nice i would post pics of mine but i dont know how to on here .

just set up an account at a photo hosting site, like www.photobucket.com , and load your pix there. You can then post the IMG code of the pic into your post here...any questions, just ask
