Nicely done!

What products did you use, how long did it take and how much did it cost you? If you dont mind me asking.

i used all dupont paint a 2 stage set up.
and i buffed it for a total of 15 hours.
the painting process took me about 3 weeks to prep and paint,i worked on it every day for about 2-3 hours a day.my car was pretty messed up . a piece of ply wood hit me on the freeway
and messed up my car really bad..

you did a good job from what i see. spend a day with a ruler lining up body panels, bumpers, and lights and youll be happier when youre done.

just get it on there to get a visual, then first line up the doors. once they are equal and straight with the body lines, then move to your fenders. make sure the body lines and door lines are straight all the way thru and the doors are equidistant from the fenders. then the front bumper. make sure it makes your fenderwells round. then drop the hood on making sure the gap between the hood and fender is the same on the left and right. and last, adjust the headlights once it all lines up.
