After almost 5 months, I picked up my Cavalier CS-80C from the body shop today.  It's now time to clean things up to put back on (which I guess I should have done during the wait '<img'> ) and put it all together.  Eric rebuilt the cooling system and it will be nice to get it out of the box that has been blocking the juke all fall '<img'> .
I pumped.  Wish me luck!  '<img'>

Okay wise guy!  ':p' The origninal looked fine, but once I reduced it the image looks pretty bad!
The sides are decals.  They originally said that they were going to apply them between the clear coats, but they got set aside and forgot.

Thanks guys.
I already have the before pics in the gallery and I'll add some more when it is done.
I too hope that I remember where everything went.
The decals are from Fun-Tronics.

It's done - for the most part.  I have to order a smaller gasket for the main door.  The one that I ordered was a bit too big and I had to cut out the middle part so that the door would close.  I also need to get a new gold trim piece for the bottom.
I used a 6-foot rope light to illuminate the bottle door.  
Now I have to clean up the basement!

That looks great!! I hope mine turn out this good. '<img'>  The rope light looks good too. Does it illuminate enough to see what you're pullin in the dark? I can't tell from the pic.
