Lets start with the basic questions, like: What kind of car do you want to have? Already know that you want it stock, but do you want a show car or a weekend cruser?Do you have acces to a welder/ spray gun?

Hello Eduardo
Im trying to do a weekend cruiser, the welding and the spraying im going to go to professionals cuz i don´t have any experince on that, and i would like it well done so that in the future i wont have any problems .
