Better Pictures

Got the car back from the painters Thursday night and am really pleased with the way it turned out.
Obviously still clueless on how to post pictures, but if you right click on them and hit view image the entire shot appears. :oops:
Still a thousand things to do, but it's amazing what a little paint can do to motivate you to work in a hot garage.

Yeah I'm pleased with the way it came out.
Mirrors are Vitaloni Californian, which are really somewhat worthless, at least on the passenger side.
But you just need to remember the first rule of Italian driving.... "What's-a-behind me is not important." :D

I got them off of eBay for about 50 bucks. Seller is 95capriceclone. Knock off no name lights, but they do have a glass lens and at least look good. I don't have them wired yet. Relays and H2's are in line after the interior is finished.
