Just promise you won't put cookie cutters on it.

About a nine. Actually it was the easiest part of the whole project.
Just remember, Jams and edges first. Paint all the way off end to end. Even with my dryer and filter at the gun I still got a little water spittin out towards the end. I even drained the compressor between sessions and changed the disposable filter at the gun. Oh well whats a little more wet sanding!

Looking good! How long will you let it dry/harden before you reasemble?

[frogman]

Ok Shawn, now let's try something a little more....primitive !



Do you think the brake ducts are too big?

[trj911]

Big brake ducts and more air in to help that air cooled engine.

[Rot 911]

Looks nice Shawn. Give it a week before you start to reassemble the car!

[k9handler]

[Shuie]

[Adam]

Awesome thread. Those panels look great in the sun!

Here are my new "R" tail lights with LEDs. These Babies are BAD!

Edit: Hmmmm no pics? Wassup?

[thrown_hammer]

Trying one more time and if it doesnt work you will just have to wait till tommorow.

No dice. Oh well, they look SOOOO cool too....

[frogman]

Ok, here are the tail light pics.





Hammer, It's a good thing I'll be in front of you.
I don't want those babies blinding me. LoL

[Kevin Stewart]

[thrown_hammer]

Thanks Kevin. I hope to have it on the road by the end of the month.
And as for you frogman.....Only one reason you will ever be in front of The Punisher....It's called hunting.

Those tail lights are made by Rayburn & Williams out of Chicago. By far the best set-up I have seen in the 'R' tail light arena.

Legal? GruppeB? Can you use those words in the same sentence? I think it would be awesome to have a Gulf Blue RSR in the ranks.

The tail lights are from RW Parts. They use LED lights. They are just wicked cool. They have kind of a modern "R" look to them.

[Shuie]

Shawn, what are you going to do about a backup light? No way I could pass inspection without one.

Also, details on the LEDs? Ive never heard of Rayburn Williams R lights. Id pretty much given up on the R lights becuase I had heard they were difficult to see from behind when you get on the brakes. LEDs should be really bright.

Nice job! The car looks great.
