the car looks beautiful man:] i cant wait to see it done

on a side note:
maybe im just tired or maybe people arnt reading... but he said he was going to lower it more when everything's said and done... lol stop telling him to lower it. and think of paint costs this way. im in school to be a collision repair tech. if i want to fix my car and do a full paint job like he did with a SINGLE STAGE paint, it would probably be around 500(paint/materials). and i don't have to pay labor. granted, im learning still but if you figure it takes me a month to do everything working on it 2 hours roughly a day, 4 days a week. and the lowest ive seen a shop charge for labor is 40$/hour your talking almost 1300 in labor alone. and that's with a single stage paint. maybe another tech can chime in and give another estimation for something like this but either way, a complete paint job is pretty damn expensive.
