here is what i am working on right now.

a cliff, a wooden stick, and a floored gas pedal it could look really sharp!!!!

Oh come on now, It`s far better looking than the one I saw today, same color but it had an added HUGE RED WING!!! I was waiting for Snoopy to try and shoot it down.
 
well the pos is done. i worked yesterday at my job 7 to 3:30 then went straight to the shop and worked from 3:30 until 5 am this morning, came home, showered, went to sleep, woke up at 11am and went right back. i'll get good pics tomorrow before he pics it up but here is a few.

wow Jaime youve got mad skills with the gun....Im using my Mark right now to practice. I also like the way you routed that pin stripe good job!!!
 
yeah i dont like pin stripes but he asked that i put one on, so the only ones i can stomach is done the way i did that. i have seen quite a few marks where the pin stripe goes up on the quarter along the bottom of the rear window gasket. i was going to have a glass guy come put the back window in, but now i can add another thing to the things i have done list, i put the back window in all by myself, and though it would have been awesome to have another set of hands, i got it no problem, its nice and low in the pinch weld, the gasket looks great and if i did it right, when it rains there wont be water in the back seat lmfao! i'm gonna take real picks with the digital tomorrow, i like to keep these painting projects all on a disc, cell phone pics dont cut it!
 
i had no choice lol otherwise i would have went the easy route too! its a little to big to do alone but what are ya gonna do!!
 
super clean because i scrubbed the piss out of them last night lol!! they were super brake dust covered. well here it is, all in its golden glory. he came to pick it up about an hour ago and loves it, he told me at my shop he loved it, then called me again 15 minutes after he left to tell me again he is very happy. he bought the car in 96, its a 94, so he has had the car a long time. he bought it with 13,000 miles on it in 96, and13 years later it just turned 89,000 miles. it just looked like hell! but he loves it so i guess i did something right again. here are good pics from today. thats mark VIII repaint number 4!!!

Cool! Looks a lot better!

Is it just me, or is his caster way off? (most noticeable in the 2nd pic on the first page)
 
shouldnt be martin, i put a whole new front end in it recently and he had it aligned and new tires put on, might just be the parking lot, or the photo, but its fine in person. there is alot of money and parts in that car lol.
 
I love the stance of your mark jamie.

me too, its perfect for me, i wasnt happy with just the sensor lowering, so i took the front wheels off and slotted the stud brackets even further so the front would drop more, the rear sensor stud is almost touching the trunk floor lol!!! here is a shot i took of mine for the hell of it, from far away.

Looks Awesome man! Glad to say I found a new home here, rather than the markviii forum...
 
yeah dan, took you long enuff, F Cal's site!!!!!!!!!!!!! you will find alot of Cal haters here.

A'men and nice slick job you done on that car Jamie. Pin striping is something it could have done without and I'm not feeling it with the gold grille. Other than that, it makes me wanna bring ole blackie down there and let you have at it. No pin striping for me and leave my grille alone and we would get along.
 
Great job on the Sante Fe Mark Jamie. It looks brand new. And I love the pinstriping, it flows just right!
