Well its been some time since I have posted.

Finally found someone to do the rest of the body prep and paint work for a really good deal. I will post progress pictures in the next few weeks. The shop is right next door to ours. It's nice to have the car walking distance so I can check it out every so often. The color I think I am going with is Matador Red Mica from the new Lexus color chart.

Thinking of doing brushed rims with gray centers. Should look good.

Tim the color is so cool. To me, Lexus has a lot of great colors and I'm surprised more PT cars don't take a hard look at them:

Cool color Jay! I think it is a 3 stage metallic or pearlescent paint with mica rock in it instead of powdered metal. Reflects AND refracts light unlike other metallics. Very glittery with cool illumination changes. It's a nice, deep red. BTW, love the build

Some updates... Gap work, Welding the lower fender to the top. Shave the side marker lights. 18" One off wheel we just did that will weigh about 20 lbs after pockets machined in.
