body work finally

finally getting the gt/cs rear bumper and cervini's ram air hood (1171) painted and installed. the good thing is i won't have to pay for the bumper and door ding repair. the bumper got minor damage while i was parked along with the door ding. looks like someone hit the door with a rock. it goes in on the 1st. by the 9th or so i'll have some pics.

Good to hear. Get us some pics once you get her all finished up

holy crap. there must be an easier way to remove vinyl. taking off the blue stripes getting ready for the body shop. dammit this sucks.

Where's Ronny, I'd bet he knows a trick??

Very carefully... Heat guns work well just be careful with the heat. This is about the worst time of the year to remove stripes.... cold weatherwise....

It really comes down to how long the stripes have been on and the quality of vinyl. The good stuff is actually easier to remove.

To be safe I'd use a blow dryer. Like Paul said warm is the key. Also this is when you find out the quality of vinyl you were sold. The good stuff comes off in large pieces and the cheap stuff breaks constantly in little tiny pieces. I also noticed that the rear bumper area seems to deteriorate faster even with the good stuff.

well it was put on in the middle of 07 and for the most part it was always in the garage. it was a good quality i think as it does come off in large pieces unless i just try to rip it up fast. it is just a good finger work out peeling so much off. i did use a heat gun, but it's hard to keep it warm when i'm the only one there. can't hold the gun and peel at the same time.

found out the hood repair is complete. i got my scott drake hood pins in and will take them tomorrow. hopefully will have the car back before next weekend since i'm supposed to be in the st. pat's day parade

sweet. Parade.

yeah i'm pretty excited about it other than feathering the clutch for an hour or so

we want pics when done.

nah, i'll just keep you all wondering

DAM YOU BOB !!!

a teaser pic for you all. car is still at the shop, but has paint and clear down now. should have it friday or sat morning if i can't get off work to pick it up

omfg. picked up my car tonight and holy freaking cow. looks killer, but................
1 they did a piss poor job of sanding and buffing. still has horrible orange peel so it's going back again probably next week.

2. i was leaving and there was something dragging. stopped looked under the car and f(*&. the left side exhaust past the xpipe was completely bent around the axle and scraping on the drive shaft. so now it also has to go to the muffler shop to get it fixed. the shop is paying for this.

i'll get some pics tomorrow after work.

Looks awesome Bob! When you get it cleaned up, send us more pics!

thanks this is something i don't think i can capture with a camera

the outcome, but still have to take it back for some hood repair and a wet sand and polish. i won't recommend this place to anyone. hood very well might need to be completely repainted. the pics do absolutely no justice. the top of the ram air looks completely amazing in the sun and black at night. the color is called crimson black, basically black with a red flake.

Looks awesome Bob! Good call!

Sweet! Lookin good

too shinny. it hurts my eyes. LOL!!! looks sweet.

Im in love...your body looks so good!

LOL!!! I'm not going there.

Let it go, Pappi
