Looks awesome. I'm not a huge fan of the wheels, but your car pulls them off. Congrats on getting it back!

It wasnt even a shop.. just some good old boys in southwest VA where i go to school.. do side body-paint work in their garage. I saw a lot of their work and it looked great so i gave them a try

Overall the paint job is way better than i expected.. who ever said you get what you pay for???? they fixed that rear 1/4 panel which was a hell of alot of work, they took off the black pass door and cut in the inside green. installed new rear lip and fabricated brakets to make it REAL strong, re-painted the door B pillars black along with the front lip. the drivers front fender was rolled soo ****ty, stuck out about 1 inch, they cut it out and fabbed new metal into it. the rear quater is almost all metal, not just full of bondo, ill have you get some pics from the inside the truck where you can see the work, fixed all the dents over the whole car then repainted it.. the paint it about an 8 out of 10 which i am more than happy with ( and im very picky) the best part is the guy who did it is only 19 years old

oh yea.. everything for $1200 no one else would even tough the quater for that amount.. let alone do the whole car


hyperfest 05


how i got it.. rear quarter was hammered out (VERY VERY BAD) and hard to fix

I remember seeing that thing banged up at HyperFest awhile back. About two years ago now. Didn't to you run with the MA guys. Matt with the green 240 is a friend of mine and used to be on the team.
