You guys won't be callin it "The Skittle" for much

no, I'm not sellin it, but it's goin right back in the body shop..and gettin repainted a different color!!

no, I'm not gonna tell you what color(s) it's gonna be!! you'll see it very soon!!

A lot of stuff needs to be fixed. As I told Celtic, pieces are starting to crack (it's molded..it happens) and the ****in left turn signal is out, and the right brake light doesn't work (it's really ****ed up cause it's molded in!!!). So, since all that has to be fixed, and it's a 3-stage paint job, it won't match up..same for rocks chips and stuff. Since it's gotta get repainted, i'm not gonna do it green..may sell the rims and get 19" polished ones..don't know yet.

However, 2K3 is gonna hold some surprises..be on the lookout for pics!!

All the haters..you know what you can do for me!
All the supporters..you keep me goin; I appreciate all of it!!

I'm sorry i'm not on as much as I used to be...the computer at the crib is still ****ed up, and I haven't gotten a chance to get it fixed. If you need to e-mail me directly, it's "skittleonchrome@yahoo.com" or "cameronnelson@ems.att.com"...the 2nd e-mail will get an immediate response.

Damn Skittle, your gonna get it painted again. i hope your not paying for all this, at least not full price, considering they ****ed up(whoever did the work). To tell the truth I love everything about your car except the paint and the rims, which coincidentally is the entire basis for your name on SS.com. I cant wait to see it painted with the new hood. Oh, and while your at it figure out how to jam some 20s in there

^^well, they really didn't mess up on it..it's molded together, so between the cold weather (it retracts instead of expanding) and the bumps on the street, it'll cause it to flex and crack..the only people that really mold kits on cars aren't driven daily, and mine is. I was actually gettin tired of the color when it got painted the 2nd time, so this gives me an opportunity to come w/somethin different. Yeah, I've got to pay for it (it sucks too!), but..it's all good. I've been pissed off enough! The guy that's painting it is doin it for cheap ($1500) and he's got skillz..switches his up whenever he gets tired of it (every 2 mths!)

hey skittle , i didnt mention it on the othe rpost but i apprecaite anyone hard ass work top do something totally custom, so you know, **** the hata's man! hey bud, i was wondering with all that custom work are you going to do something with the interior door panels?maybe i missed something but they looked almost stock in that last post mikey put up, correct me if im wrong.
awesome job man, after doing restoration for 14 years i can truly apprecaite when someones poured their heart, soul and money into something, as longas YOU enjoy it, then **** what the jelous and the hata;s think!

Skittle, its kewl that you want to paint it again, but won't the work just crack again though? I would hate to see you get the thing painted again, and then it cracks again. All that money for nothing.

I would like to see the pics though when you are done.

Thanks Joey! yeah, i'm definitely gonna get the interior rewrapped..it's gonna be painted a diff.color, so you'll see it completed AGAIN by March. It might be fiberglassed, if my money holds out. I'm tryin to start a business by February, so if my money is funny...it'll be vinyl (like the seats). If things go good, it'll be fiberglass. Either way, it'll be covered over!

man march seems a LONG time away, but if its the 17th of march then that will be a sweet bday present from you to me for seeing the finished product
