Do you double post useless posts and clog up the forum there too?

Haha, sorry dude, just easy to give someone a hard time that does stuff like that. A lot of people here are professionals in this field, and would like to think of this as a professional site. Every single post on this forum is supposed to contain useful technical information, after all that is the goal the site. Take a gander at the rules at the top of the page, follow them and you may post.

your rears doors seem to have lost thier handles.

IMHO, shave none or shave all. Looks peculiar without the mouldings as well.

they are old cars, i think you just messed up trying to make it look like a newer car.

where's the tech?

edit: your paintjob SCREAMS cheap (read macco) you need to get your grill back to black and stuff like mentioned above. it honestly doesnt look likea paintjob that would usually have the jambs done, or the bay. so props on that, but it still looks like they taped off the windows and lights then sprayed paint all over it.

i have tons of pics of the car tore down to a metal shell. the only windows left in were the 2 rear quarter ones, all trim is new, i can assure you that this is no mayco paint job as im the one who painted it, did all the body work, and spent an entire day wet sanding and posishing it. there are no dents, dripps, waves, or orange peel of any kind.

How do you remove the silver strip that divides the door from the window, running horizontally in the middle of this pic?

how do you figure that? I think the paint looks great, especially if he did it himself.
