Total Vanity but cool.. Our newest US Flag Car is finished!
US Flag Balloon ^ | 5/3/05 | abner

Posted on 05/03/2005 12:26:01 PM PDT by abner

Well, we are getting ready for the 2005 ballooning season and I needed a newer car. My flagged out Cavalier went to Race Bannon, and my son is off to Russia for a month and won't be around much this summer so we sold his flagged out MR-2 to our mailman's son. I was carless. We picked up a Grand Am on eBay and have just finished painting it. I wanted my fellow FReepers to have a look. It is our best paint job yet!

For the finished car and for the work in progress go to:

Given what you started with, that's gorgeous. I admire your attempt to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.

That paint job is worthy of a NASCAR contract. VERY nice.

Thanks. We had a good time with this one. Took us 3 days to paint instead of 24 hours. :-)

24 hours is how long we usually take on these.
