for those of ya who havent followed dustin and steffs build thread, they aquired a 95 GT over the winter, and beams swapped it.
a good buddy of mine, mike, gave me a hand, and did most of the bodywork, i deleted the sidemarkers, and antenna hole, and mike helped me block out the car after i primed it. here are some pics. deleting sidemarkers all primed you can see the antenna delete in this pic and now the good stuff, the car was painted with an OEM lexus color, its a tri-stage paint job, meaning, you put down a solid basecoat color (in this case a medium/dark red), then a transparent midcoat (like a candy color paint job) with all the pearl ect in it, then clearcoat over that: this last pic is of the license plate surround, close up with the flash on, it shows the pearl midcoat off really well. lots more pics tommorow after work! -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Remember this?
Very bad rod knock and a very bad radiator meant we had to have it towed home. . . The car has come so far in such a short amount of time.
