Looks really good, can't wait to see the final paint job.
One question, did you sand down the original paint to create a primer look, or or did you sand down to metal and then apply the primer coat?
Trying to see which way is cheaper and still keeping some good results, as I too will be needing a paint job. Thanks

I pick the car up Friday. The gentleman that did it is a friend of mine...a fellow TR owner...and owns his own bodyshop. My car was stolen...so this went through insurance.

That's Marks Megacooler from TR Customs. Fit like a glove...and the ET stays dead consistent on back to back runs. I got tired of heat soak with the SLIC. I got it brand new from a guy in Alberta...for 600 bucks shipped to my door. :rock:

I raced Dan Keller at Armdrop this year...and he has my identical build...with the exception of a SLIC. I got him by a length or two in the first race. We hot lapped...and I put a half dozen on him. I'm a firm believer in real world results.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.
