Sounds like a plan to me!

so last mondays hail storm causes some damage. Shop windows got busted out and dumped glass all over my car. every body panel has a scratch and the trunk lid has 3 dents in it. I was able to clean out the water but the car will need repainted. When life gives you lemons you make lemonade



so Im debating on coloring matching the bumper and smoothing it, painting the tail panel titanium to match the wheel centers as well and the outside chrome ring and black portion on the tail light titanium since one of the tail lights got scratched as well.



I would love to do this to the bottom part of my car but i dont want to spend any extra money on welding and bodywork.

Are you in the San Antonio area? I knew quite a few people that had a bunch of Windows and cars damaged last Monday in that storm.

That shop is in Wylie, TX. Wylie was hammered pretty hard, I have friends who showed me pictures of hail bigger than softballs. Randy and I live North and West 10+ miles from there, our weather was a bit kinder.

guess while I'm at it and waiting for my paint delemia to be figured out ill mount the ecu under the passenger seat like this.

Well I'm finally coming to completion with the insurance company and my car. Should finalize something soon and get the car repainted. When i do I'm going to black out the panel. Heres an example from today.





I also ordered myself a nice H3R hg250r fire HalGuard fire extinguisher after seeing big reds fire. I will have one attached to my seat and another in the left side of my trunk. IM using drakes off road fire mount. Another great piece.





Now I'm debating about getting some fesler door handles and paint the inlay titanium to match the wheels. The other piece of the handle will be polished. sorta like this but instead of matte the insert will be titanium



Last but not least i dropped off my seats to get redone identical to these. Pleather outers, suade inners and orange stitching.

Awesome car!

Wow just found this thread, great build so far and sorry to hear about the damage. Glad to see insurance will help you with the repairs!

[randy]

Yes the insurance company was great and easy to deal with. I went with grundy. Great rates as well. Car will be on the road in 3 or 4 weeks. Doubt I have my seats done in time and interior finalized but the outside will be completed
