I really like the blue on that car, obviously I would keep the top solid and not paint the mirrirs and spoiler different, or the ducts. I was thinking jet black before but like it was stated the upkeep is rediculous and although I do try to wash my car alot and keep it somewhat clean considering the current paint, I dont want to devote THAT much time to it.

I think that would look great. As everyone said before though, I would paint everything, spoiler, mirrors, ducks, whatever the same blue. I think that brighter blue would look great with a darker grey for some reason, and some nice chrome rims. ---

If you paint the car that color blue and only paint the lower ground effects silver, it will look hot. Or go with a car that is all electron blue ---

> [@66impalass](#): > > why not make the fast before you worry about painting it. Well I was going to do all the engine work and shit first but besides the engine I will have to do all the frame shit too (subframe connecters and such). Maybe a 4 pt roll cage…dunno bout that though…depends on what I end up doing. For now I am thinking of just giving it a good tuneup and keeping it mainly stock just to save money. I don’t want to nickle and dime myself to death buying parts one at a time. I’d rather save up for a year and get everything at once and make it a winter project. It’s got a 305 in it right now. Needs a really good tune up. its been running rough. The carb needs to be tuned, the heads should be tuned/cleaned. I have a sticky lifter for sure. The last time I changed the oil I had quite a bit of sludge in it, so I really want to have the engine thoroughly cleaned and checked. I’ll get help with that, I can take it appart and put it back together…thats easy. But I dont know how to tune a carb or do heads n shit. Just bold shit on really. anywho…so I am thinkng of just getting the body work done for now so at least I’ll have a decent looking cruizer till the time when I have all the shit I need. ---

Not right this moment, but within the next few weeks I will be getting 1 of 2 really good jobs so it won’t be a problem. Both have a starting pay of around $12 an hr and have a lot of advancement opportunities. ---

two things: 1. a 305 is not worth rebuilding/freshening up 2. $12 a hour is good pay?!?! ---

$12 an hr is very good pay when you’re used to 8.50 an hr. I can very easily make $12 an hr seem like 20. Don’t forget man, I grew up poor. I’ve never really had a lot of money. 12 an hr is only like $370 a week take home, but that is $100 more a week than I was making at Darien Lake. ---

> [@Matt Danger](#): > > I’m not a fan of two-tone. It’s another trend. Pick a nice, rich black or red, or hugger orange. two tone may be a trend with more modern cars but I wouldn’t call someone a bandwagon jumper when their car came two tone stock. it sucks being poor man, if I were you i would keep the stock paint unless its unlivable and bank/invest the money man ---
