My first mods!
Just curious, but what happened when you tried to clear coat it?

Well, the first coat I put on I didn't cover the car fully, so when I put on a second coat it got bubbles all over it. Not only that, but it was extremely hot and humid out that day and the bottle says: For best results don't use on extremely humid days and in degrees over 85. Which is was both of. Well over it. haha.
the first car that i altered was a purple '40 woody... couldn't stand it stock... i sanded one front fender top to metal, painted the other satin black, dark browned one door, blacked out one wheel, added wide white to one wheel, scratched cracks into the pass. side windshield, darn thing ran like a prom queen trying to get home before midnight,,, beat every car i had... still have it, bent wheels and all.
Thought i'd update this. A year later I finally felt like I had the experience to finish this darn Fact 4... and I'm so glad I was patient enough to wait. It looks AMAZING. I went out and bought a different brand of clear coat and i'm very glad that I did it. The surface is glass like and this thing just shines now. Had to do some cutting of the inside plastics for it to make the Featherweight Challenge limit but I did it!
Here is a close up of the finished car...
For stripping paint off a car for repainting...I just use some oven cleaner, let it set in the sun, and respray it several times, and then wash it off with a S.O.S cleaning pad. I haven't had any problems with getting the paint off...and it's cheap!

welcome to the featherweight challenge series thing looks good... fast ?
Those look good, keep it up. I did a bunch and took a break but been working on a few the last 2 days since I didn't get to go to the kustom convention this weekend.
