i'm going to do all the sanding and panel alignment (some of them are pretty far off) but all the bondo and paint work i'll have done at a shop. i don't have the know-how to do the paint myself but everything else i've done to some extent or another lol. i'll definitely keep the pics coming of the progress

I'm going to go with flat/suede black on it with red pinstripes but first i have to get all the panels straightened out lol. i'm moving wednesday to a place with a bigger garage so i can completely depanel it again and do it right. got the hood straightened out on it, had to grind the hell out of the hood latch bolt holes so i could move it about half an inch to the left so my fiberglass hood wouldn't twist up lol

Most every kit I've seen requires a ton of time to get to fit right, especially the knock-offs of popular styles. I remeber a particular Border replica I bought for the snout of mine, it was removed from the mould while wet and was about 3/4" off everywhere. At least paying the big loot for FEED products made the job easier, but even as good a product as it was, it still needed to be beefed up to withstand normal road driving.
My Prediction: you will end up hating that body kit. After all the hard work the end result is less than spectacular and it will pick-up ever piece of road debris it can find and flaw the paint job, not to mention doing strange things as the seasons change with the heating and cooling cycles, especially anywhere you have to spread plastic to try and remove surface defects prior to priming.
