Yea... the guy I bought the car from rattle-canned everything flat black and didn't remove/tape anything off. There's overspray on the fenders too. I pulled everything off of the car from the windsheild forward on Monday night. I'll get more pics tonight.

Monday's progress

wet sanded the passenger side fender area and around the passenger headlight area.

painted the passenger head light area just to see how well it was gonna come out. WE LIKES, HIGH FIVE!

Wednesdays's progress. Wet sanded the radiator support, bumper support and driver's side head light area.

End result after paint

Yea... it's not coming out too bad for a rattle-can paint job. The car had apparently been in an accident and the driver's front corner looks a little rough. I'm using alot of the parts from the stock front end off of my white car to make this one better.

Sounds like he got quite a bit more done last night. Was on the phone with him while he was on break from it. (phone died on me btw, sorry about that) You should get a whip you can use on your brother to get the work done faster

just an fyi: a bullwhips tip moves a twice the speed of sound. the "crack" is the tip breaking the sound barrier.
