Default Some changes to the BlackSheep Ride.

So I decided to clean up my ride a little bit over the weekend. Mostly to get it ready for the Monte Nationals, but really just some stuff I have been meaning to get around to.

Finally got my summer rims back on, yay having a job and being able to afford new rubber

Took 4 hours to clean off 11 years of rotor rust and grossness. Thankfully had a drill and some wirewheels, and a few wire brushes.

Was able to use a G2 Kit to brush on some red, was super easy and turned out GREAT!!!

Took the windshield decal off my car because it was 8 years old and cracking and fading. Debadged my trunk, I was going to do the sides too, but after painting the calipers... I think the Sides look great with the logo, I think I might go back to the silver Monte Carlo Script idea again for the sides

Oh yeah, pics



On the blocks ready to prep.



Yay red



Clean windshield If you look carefully, you can see the reflection of a white Monte SS



debadged rear

I think the changes are very welcome and the car looks sharp

Now I need to do a new photoshoot for sigs lol

I want to paint my calipers, but with the stock wheels, no point.

I might end up taking a day off to prep my Monte for the Nationals. Needs good coat of wax for this year.

Nice work Chibi!

Very cool Mike! That caliper paint is the only stuff I will use - it holes up great!
