My turbocoupe project Reply #3 – February 21, 2008, 09:47:23 PM waaaayyy tooo many. I wanted this car perfect like my truck, so it took along time. the wheels I think were the biggest pain because it took 4 days of polishing to get them that shinythe first pic of the progress that I have, I uploaded dec 19 and that was after a couple weeks of work Quote Selected

My turbocoupe project Reply #6 – February 21, 2008, 10:13:55 PM if thats all you were going to do, I would brush it, but it took a while to mask the tbird emblem because masking tape wont go down in the whole, so I carefully ran my knife around the edge near the top of the indent to make it even all the way around. it probably ended up being painted 1/16 - 1/8" farther than I would've preferred, but it still looks good and makes it a little more visible being bigger Quote Selected
