  I am finally getting my car to the booth this coming week. Been waiting for this for about 2 years now. I took the last couple of weekends to remove parts. I removed the fender mirrors (sourced some more (true) JDM ones, the front/rear bumpers, the luggage rack, the Shelby wheels, air dam and the beauty rings. The luggage rack will remain off and the holes filled back in. The Shelby wheels are off so that they can be refinished. Below are a couple of pics of it as it sits right now. I also have my Strombecker CVCC stripped down for paint.

  I'm really looking forward to the after of these pics!

  Is the painter pulling all the trim (side marker lights, headlights, front grill, etc.) or are you doing that after if gets to there? I wouldn't do a tape around and spray when all that stuff comes off with little effort for a much better result.

  Also now is the time to shave the huge fugly side market lights and possibly make valances to replace the bumpers.

  I love going to the Pull-a-Part because the dollar admission is cheaper than most car shows and you almost always see cooler cars.

  They did. Not the same shape, but they have them.
