Yeah, I wanted one back then too.
Unfortunately I couldn't afford one until the late 90's.
Thanks for the compliment.
I cant wait to get a decent photo of it.
I still have to paint the 2 directional lights but I cant find my little bottle of
"turn signal amber" so those lights will have to wait for now.
The black paint that I used for the window trim wasn't spaying right, but I used it anyways. I should have just picked up another can of paint, or just used my airbrush but I just couldn't wait. Besides the weather was just right for painting so I just got it done.
It doesn't really look too bad, and at least the paint didn't bleed at all.
I think I'm going to skip the clear coat and just give it a good coat of wax instead. I want to keep the paint thin to preserve the body lines, plus I have plenty of paint left over for touch ups if I get a scratch.
