Had Kim drive the FX home while I followed her.....in the dark the rear bumper lights look soooo awesome. Just the whole FX looked so dam sweet. From the front, the yellow fogs with the white lights and blue tint city lights....gosh...sometimes we don't see how sweet looking the ride is while in motion when we are in it. They look different when being driven than parked.

Totally agree, in motion and park are two different perspective! The other night my brother in-law drove mine as I followed. Man love the throaty tone from the exhaust, the lower ridding CUV look, those big and wide tires that push out just right to fender. :smile (2):...sometimes we don't see how sweet looking the ride is while in motion when we are in it.

Oooooooooh..........Sounds quite erotic Andy.
:smile (2): No no Wanye. I'm only describing my beloved FX :wink (2):
Bad thing about bondo is that it will eventually crack, I would have went with another door. I stay away from bondo as much as possible.
Haha. Good one Wayne
man don't be too critical, don't see anything yet that looks too scary... and in a big shop like that I think that re purposed wheelchair is pretty cool, nothing to make me think any less of the shop just because of that yeah newspaper masking is crappy, hopefully that's only used for primer, that will cause issues in paint. looks like there not going to remove the handles, mirror and moldings though, those cost cutting things will hurt the job a bit. hopefully they spray it nice and the bodywork isn't too wavy, sucks that the guy did all that bodywork at below knee level though, would be so much better to at least jack it up for a better vantage point to access that...
I think the real cost cutting stuff is going to be the stuff you don't see, mainly the quality of the materials used to do the job. there going to use all cheap materials, they have to at the price there doing it for, to do that right good materials alone would be over $250, but with cheap stuff it might be done with ~$100 worth of materials. keep your fingers crossed it may still come out decent
