i've received some great tips from you guys as well as some great service from tim christian whom i found here on the board. in another couple of weeks(hopefully) i'll have my girl sprayed,fitted with new trim and looking great.

i'm going with the original #518 green, but am going for the white down the middle this time. i'm a stock kind of guy, so besides H.E.I and dual exhausts, everything will look stock.

here's a picture of the way she was...

and the way she looks this evening...

hank · 07-02-2003, 10:24 PM

I like the before pictures better :p

*Randy70C-10* · 07-02-2003, 10:36 PM

I see that you cleaned the junk off the sides.

hank · 07-03-2003, 09:53 AM

one more "before" pic...can't wait until the job is done.

krue · 07-03-2003, 09:59 AM

Sounds like it is going to look great!

Ackattack · 07-03-2003, 10:26 AM

Is #518 the paint code for medium green? I need a can of spray paint in that color, and the guy at the paint store wanted the paint code.

hank · 07-03-2003, 10:32 AM

yes that is the code.

this might help you. someone one the board showed me this link.

You got my thumbs up! Subtle improvements but no radical surgery. Why have a Michael Jackson disaster when a simple facelift will do!

That's the way they ought to be.

hank · 07-03-2003, 01:43 PM

thanks, CPNE.

that's my philosophy, too. they look great as is.

i'll post the after pictures when i'm done.

hank · 07-09-2003, 09:32 PM

Way to go Hank!

**Yukon Jack** · 07-10-2003, 11:18 AM

That's some great progress!

Iron-Butt · 07-10-2003, 11:51 AM

I like the stock look too. Thats a great job so far.

Woody · 07-10-2003, 02:05 PM
