So for the past 4 or 5 months i've been working on doing body work and getting the car painted, and finally the painting is done. It isn't perfect but its not a show car its a daily driver. In the pictures only the hood is waxed so the rest of the car might not be as shinny as the hood. I'll put the link to the full album of pictures from today up, but i am trying to post a teaser pic for everyone to see, but i don't know if it will work. Would love to hear what you think about the car.

enjoy,

Thank you for all of your compliment they are much appreciated.

464elky: I'm sorry i forgot to get back to you about the bumper i was on vacation when you sent the PM and i forgot about it. I'm pretty broke right now so i am just doing what i can to get the car finished so it can be driven everyday without any problems.

358L-CO: I am not one for purple but purple with some ghost flames would look very nice.

mgs72elky: Thanks... Yeah the colors came out really nice after i edited the picture. Really made the shirt stand out.

Nice pictures buddy. Did youi paint it yourself? Either way its a balsy move to go with black and if that's you reflected in the paint it's nice to see some younger guys getting into Elky's.
