Aren't you a little young to have those problems?

Mark WAS sponsered by Viagra till last year when he got sponsered by AAA. I just haven't updated all my collectibles. yet. When you like a team, you stay with that team through thick and thin, right Saints & Raiders fans?

Nope, AutoZone only had three color kits. Red, Black, and one other.

oh and please loose the nascar plate... very "hick-ish" imo

Actually, my car was an Avis rental car. I didn't know much about finding "accident" signs, but they were all over. The leaky windshield, the overspray on the driver door seal, and the chipping paint on the mirror. Only one of those was there when I bought the car.

Hickish? That's me. I'm a rednecked coonass. Family roots in the hills of Arkansas and the cotton fields of Louisiana.

I gained a lot more respect for Jr this year. He really raced a lot more clean races than years past. I had to move him off my most hated racers list.

Yeah, I considered taking the holder off, but I'm still learning a lot of things that do not involve mechanical or electrical work. Body work is still quite mystifying to me. Didn't do too well on the old pickup I had a couple years ago.

Pictures coming soon of the final product. And also, is my battery dead when the door bell chimes quit when you pop the trunk? Hmm... Wonder about that one.

Ok, so the last of my photos for this project. I got the wheels back on this morning and the calipers are now very noticeable. A side item I didn't think of, now I get to keep the calipers clean too. Oh well.

PS - yes, that's curb damage on the rim.

It looks good, but man let me tell you, you might run into a lot of problems with this car, only because it used to be a rental. I learned never to get a rental because first off, my mom got a malibu that was a rental and the thing suckedddddd, it had so many problems. and second cause if you read what some people post on here about beating the shit out of the cars lol

But good job on the calipers and headlights, they look good

[myowneq]

Oh, trust me, I know about rentals. I'm not easy on them either. I've had this car for nearly four years. It was a rental for only 14k miles and I'm approaching 97k now. I think that "accident" ended it's career down that path. For the most part, hasn't been a bad car and most of the problems I've had were just Alero problems.

ahh ok, didnt know u had it for so long. Why did it take you so long to get to modding?

for anyone who has the warped bumper under the headlight....... if you remove the headlight and look under the bumper you will see some styrofoam.... if you just break it off and pull it out it will reduce the amount your bumper is bowed.

its not caused from accidents or heat
