The white walls do look cool, but I've got to tell you, one of the best changes I made to my Stella was when I ditched those Shinkos.

Slow shutter speed. If you're shooting on aperture priority and there isn't enough light, the camera will leave the shutter open longer to let enough light in. At slower shutter speeds, it's impossible to hand hold the camera steady enough. Your options are to a) open the aperture wider (if possible), b) set the camera to a higher ISO (the equivalent of film speed), or c) use a tripod.

+1 on losing the reflectors, now you just need to lose the ugly spare tire cover

jmkjr72 · Post by **jmkjr72** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:37 pm

im actualy thinking about painting it black but we have had rain latley and its a bit humid to paint in my garage

lmyers · Post by **lmyers** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:43 pm

Black is good, but why not show off that third white wall?

polianarchy · Post by **polianarchy** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 2:01 pm

I plan on painting my cover black & white, to mimic my tire. I want to keep the cover on, otherwise the exhaust will turn the whitewall BLACK. 'Course, I dunno how long I'll keep whitewalls on Ditto....

well brake in service is tommrow
now i have to find the time to start the dechroming process as i am noticing that the "chrome" plastic is chipping off all ready so ill have to find the time to sand it all down prime and paint it black

i also want to make a tip to extend the exhaust stinger so its no dumping onto my whit wall

well thanks to the wreck last fall i will need to do some painting
so i figured now would be a good time to do something about the monsristy that they call a tail light
so what to do cut a big ass hole in the fender where the tail light goes

here is a test fit fit the frenching bucket and the new tail light

tommorw i will weld the bucket in place and trim the extra off
it will just be in primer for a while as its too cold to paint
