Wow. VERY nicely done!!!!

[devlish]

Thanks, it's getting there!

I liked the car to start off with, you just made it even better.

Great work :thumb:

[Sherri007]

Mighty sweet ride you got there! Fantastic job. :thumb:

[Bardo]

sorry man i love the car and how it looks but i had to change one little thing :D http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d30/ajbardo/CAR.jpg

[Bardo]

btw the link doesnt work

[Austrian Dodge]

excellent work!

do you guys all do your paint job at home? :)

[devlish]

Bardo: Yeah, i thought of that AFTER i posted it... but look at my post count here... i'm new. I've been over there for years! but just for you, and to show the new found love... i'm going to put BOTH on there. how's that? i'll post a pic next week when it's redone!

Your right, the link doesn't work... it should read:
http://webpages.charter.net/devlish Let me know what you think of the webpage too... (mentally replace any references to TD with TM)
it was late for me when i did all this. i'm surprised those 3 posts turned out as good as they did! :-)

Aussie Dodge: Yep, did mine at home. Its not 100%, but i don't care. the silver was falling off and looked pretty rough. my main goal was back to the stock blue, and make it stick! I spent a LOT of time removing the old crap, and priming. i sluffed on a little of the bodywork (the doors are a bit wavy if you look closely, SSSSHHHHHHH!!!!) but like i said, it'd Blue and not going to fall off ever! plus, i hope to beat on it at the track most of the time anyways! and no-one there will even care or notice!

thanks again
~Kurt

:) thats not a problem just got photoshop (cs2) and was bored :D

[devlish]

[BadAssPerformance]

i dont know i know its not a cheap program so im useing every chance i can :)

[Turbodave]

Looks great Kurt!

[devlish]

I'll stick with CS at home and 6.0 at work then i guess... i actually like 6.0 better.

Thanks dave... it's come a long way since you saw it hasn't it!!

[GLHS592]

Looking good. Some of the best paint/bodywork I've seen was done at home.

[devlish]

Thanks. it was a LOT of work. like i said, up close it's not perfect, but i didn't build this car to show.

[MiniMopar]

I hear ya. That's all I've striving for too. Body work prep is a ton of work. So many frickin details.

[WickedShelby88]

+1 for doing it yourself. Looks great.:thumb: Inspiration for when I start the long arduous task of doing my own. I dont think I will, though, until there is a garage and another TM for me to drive everyday.
