Thank you guys, and thank you for invitations, yes i will post pics as soon as i figure out how, this summer i will be doing more work to it, i am getting ready to paint some more, just waiting for nice weather, this winter was really nice for us up here in western NY.Yesterday i finished painting my trailer hitch and now it is in the trunk drying, i also installed driver side door handle, I really like metal flake look on our cars.I also have mother in law with pontiac vibe, that is what pretty much got me to buy one myself. Again thank you everyone for welcoming me.

this is during my painting last year, i know i don't have greatest environment for painting but it works, it keeps dust and after several years of practice you learn how to utilize what you have, and also what materials to use.

this is my door handle i just did yesterday, i got new one, because my driver side handle piece that is around key hole was cracked so i painted one first and now will be doing the rest of them, changing door handle on our cars is quicker then changing oil.

these are couple of fiberglass speaker boxes i made, this was taken right after i was done clear coating over the airbrush i just did.this was made for my other car,just so you know i don't even listen to loud music, just like to make stuff.I am not putting anything in vibe, part of vibe is utility, all i did was took out stock stereo, and replaced it with JVC hd radio head unit, i can put my music on usb memory stick, it is all i need.
