The two holes in the hood is for the Hood Spear that I decided to keep on the car..

Here are some pics of the car on the ground, and I think extremely happy with the way the wheels work with the color, and I can now say that it was planned that way.. LOL We havent been able to get the car outside yet, and it was cloudy today anyways, but I should have some outside pics later this weekend..

I will have to refit all the bumpers and trim before they are sent out for the Brushed Chrome Plating, and they should be very close to the appearance of the wheels once completed, so there should be an overall theme of a Raw Metal or fresh out of the machine shop look..

Jimmy Jeter of Bel Air Auto did a nice job with the car, and actually spent all this last week repainting it, because we had some issues with the PPG clear product, and there isnt any such thing as touch ups with this color.. We literally just got it sprayed again today, so it isnt wet sanded or buffed yet, and I will probably wait till I get all the suspension and motor/trans back in the car before I actually go through the buffing process.

Eventhough all the gapping looks good, they will actually get better, because we dont have the doors, hood, or trunk fully aligned yet.. They were just hung for the painting process, and havent been fine tuned yet.

I finally got to get the car out into natural light today, and damn this thing is blinding. In the sunlight it just glows, so it actually appears like a satin paint, because you cannot see any reflection in it at all. Infact, you cant stare at it directly, because the Glow is actually blinding, and you will cause you to see black spots for awhile.












Here you can see the difference between the position of the sun to your back, and how much difference there is.. I can tell you this, the camera cannot really catch it all, but this will give you an ideal

Here are some pictures compared to an original Amazon, and a Delorean I have.. LOL












The Delorean has alot of the same glowing properties the Liquid Metal does, but the Liquid Metal is much more intense..
