Maybe its the light, color looks pale and greenish

 

Its a mixture of the lighting, camera, compression, and even your monitor. These pics looked completely different on another monitor.

 

Its fiji, compared to my stock paint fiji car outside. The pics do give it a bit of a green contrast.

Dude. Never let a pillow drive your car. :lol:

 

Looks great.

 

Lmao it does look like a pillow. Its a trash bag over the seat :P

 

 

Looking great. can't wait to see this car in person.

 

Going to PF'10?

 

 

These pictures do not do the car any justice, this MUST be seen in person. Glad to see it out of the shop Bill, now get some mileage on that motor and drive up to Buffalo

 

Thanks man, as soon as the car has proven itself within the first 100 miles of my house I'll start venturing further out. Buffalo is on the list!

 

 

Wow! Im really impressed! Thats beautiful. It amazes me this car wasnt done by a pro shop... Well done.

 

Hey man, coming to Pidgeon Forge again this year? Hope to see ya there. Thanks a lot. The way I saw it was the guys at the pro shop had as much knowledge and skill on the subject as I do now at some point. They weren't born with the knowledge so why couldn't I do what they do? So I rolled the dice and it turned out great.

It would be a shame for me not to end this here. So here we go. A car is never really finished hence the delay in an update, but here we go. The car is now officially "restored".

It has been a very long road. I have learned so much from doing this. I appreciate my family, friends, and this community because this would not have been possible without any of you. This is great....its one of those things I'll never forget and I'll always look back upon as a huge achievement that I accomplished.

 

This restore is complete!

WOW...just...WOW

 

Of course you already know...but nice car :P

 

Want to trade? :D

 

lol I'll have to pass on trading. I don't think I will ever want to sell/trade this car. No one will appreciate it more than me.
