i got as much painted today as i could, i need to order more paint

Nice looks like yet another move to get it right. But if I where you I would have cut and trimmed before I painted. As much as you are cutting off you may have had enough paint then.

Keep at it and keep posting as you progress. I can't wait to see how close you come to the photo shop version.

haha i left the top half of the rear and the roof unpainted cuz itll be gone, tghe front fender i havnt decided what im doing with so i just did it so it wouldnt look like trash

but yeah thanks i cant wait either, the tubing may be a ways off, but when its chopped and convertable and all decked out in the meantime itll be a really cool cruiser

hey dude, nice beater project, i actually just got one like 3 weeks ago for really cheap, an '89 w/ a 3 inch lift, probably only at like 2-2.5" now cause its old, but i also hacked the crap out of the fenders, the front ones are almost gone, i really want to chop the back half off like your going to but i don't know if i am ready to get covered in mud when i go off road
