Custom metal work done!

This is my good buddy's car, this car was smashed by a car port in the winter so he decided to rebuild it himself with the addition of some custom work. All work seen is sheet metal. He painted the whole car in the driveway!! I am amazed, my car is now in the driveway shop getting some work done

Car has yet to be wetsanded/polished out:





Here's a before of my car, though we did already paint the mirrors:

That is sweet looking man!!! BRG and black together is so badass. Only thing bad are those chrome rims. They look like they belong on a beat up Honda.

Rims are polished, not chrome

Something cool to try: tape small pieces of string to all parts of the scoops, watch from another car as both drive down the road, and then watch the air move though.
