You win . . . The Bra is coming off. . .

[93formulalt1]

I decided that I would give in and let you all have what you want. I'm taking off the hood part of my front-end bra tomorrow when I wash the car, and it's not going back on. I might take off the bottom part too, if I decide to break out the black spraypaint and paint the headlight buckets and grille. . . Maybe even a set of stripes on the way next week? I don't know, but I think you all will be surprised. . .

Sweet more power to ya, hope it comes out good.

[BlackbirdWs6zzz]

give us some pics after!

[93formulalt1]

I'm hoping that the damage I noticed and took pics of before is only surface damage, but I know that is not the case in one place in particular. I need to bump a big dent in the front corner of the hood and the adjacent corner of the fender. After I do that, then I'm ready to paint! The black buckets and grille are coming before any body repair, and either touch-up or a quick re-spray of the front end are coming after all of this and I finish my hood. . .

Fix your hood but have your stripes put on by a pro.

[93formulalt1]

Dude, my dad is a pro! I've done custom stripe work before too. . . I haven't told you about my old '73 'stang that I painted custom stripes on?!

[phoenix_rising]

Okay then man break a leg! I'll stop over when your doing it to supervise!

[93formulalt1]

I will not break a leg. . . I got a new CB radio today too. . . Installing it tonight. Go ahead and stop by if you get a chance. I don't mind. . .

[phoenix_rising]

You got a new CB? Does that mean your old one is not being used? I'll buy it off ya! We can cruise and play Smokey and the Bandit!!!

8-OI don't care how slow you cruise...playing Smokey and the Bandit will NOT impress the ladies

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Yeah I'm sure they will love that lol. On a side note I floored my car by an Avalance yesterday so my friend could hear the exhaust from behind me, well the Avalance pulls up to me afterward and I'm thinking they are gonna yell at me for driving like an ass. Low and behold its a smokin hott chick in teh pass seat and she yells this at me "OMG that was ****ing hot!, do it again." I tried to get her to follow me so I could give her a ride but they had plans but damn she was fine.

[93formulalt1]

You asked for it. . . Pics of my car without the bra! I almost cried when I took them . . . The car is in rougher shape than I thought. . . Should I leave it on, or leave it off?

[97rs4life]

throw the bra in the trash once and for all and fix that front end. The bra is just going to make it worse flapping around and loosening the paint some more and more chunks will come off.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Yeah leave it off and start the body work and prep for paint.

exactly. Bras are like sand blasters to paint, seriously. I've never once heard a successful story of someone having a bra on the frontend of their car and not having some sort of paint damage / fade / scratches / swirl marks / paint chips after taking the bra off. Yeah the paint's in rough shape, but I swear when you last took pics with the bra off there wasn't as much missing paint. Atleast with the bra off, it's even more of a reminder "GET TO WORK!"
