Time line of Ruby so far....

[adamwilkes14]

this is just a time line to view Ruby's progress from when I got her til now...

the day I brought her home:


the day I pulled those hideous running boards off:


the day I demolded her:


then, I added a little color to her front:


engine bay cleaned up:


engine bay today:


how she stands right now:


Next up I am doing exhaust, then we'll see how my finances align to do more dress up on the engine...

thanks Dan...she needs paint pretty bad...the storms we got here in Florida last week really tore into Ruby's clear coat pretty bad...to the point where I actually had water filled clear coat blisters in my clear on the hood...she also has the typical second gen paint fade on her roof...

But, I am in talks with a vinyl wrap dealer about wrapping her in vinyl...

A good quality full wrap, is not much cheaper than a paint job.

Well, he said he can do it for $800 installed if I go with basic colors...which is alot less then what I am gonna pay for paint here...unless I go with a single stage MAACO paint job...and I dont wanna do that....if I go with paint it is gonna have to be a BC/CC or nothing...which even for MAACO would run double what the wrap would cost...

800 for a full wrap is a GREAT price! Jump on that!!

A wrap would really **** it out for sure. What color are you thinking of?
