updating allante''s looks - 7/9/2008 10:45:49 AM    foxpaws Posts: 205 Score: 0 Joined: 7/31/2007 Status: offline Amante is back from an extended stay at the spa... Updated with painting the lower valances and boot cover and mirrors... New wheels... Lots of engine updating, and got crazy - powdercoated the engine covers, mounts, water pump... (engine photo is incomplete - waiting on some chrome bits too...) Now when I turn my caddy on - it returns the favor... _____________________________ I spent a lot of money on booze, boys and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

So, when I get the time - a can of black spray paint and some tape and I am going to experiment with some different looks. We did some experiments with the plate surround - the red was too much back there - so we left it black. It is an Italian car - it needs to be red. One of the best things about painting the lower side valances you can see the pretty line on the bottom of the car under the doors - the curve up into the car looks great. _____________________________ I spent a lot of money on booze, boys and fast cars.
