ok heres the deal

last week i started working on the t-bird that i got hooked up with

took some pics and tried to load them the loading part didn't happen

now between working on a 20yr old cadillac transmission and trying to get at a girl that a buddy told me about i finally got the time to figure out what was wrong and fixed it

so here is the t-bird as it was last week

ok there is alot that happened in the past few hrs to it

i painted it today and now i need to wet sand it

but follow along with me here

it started off with a krylon silver base

then 2 coats of metallic red went on

followed by a light dusting of duplicolor toutch up pen paint(cant remeber the color but it looks like a light verson of gunmetel) over a (get this)lace pattern(going old school on this one) on the hood and trunk deck

that was followed by another coat of metallic red(now it ghosted out cant see it if you didnt know it was there)

then i spent 1/2 an hour masking off the lines that are red

then it was hit with a gloss black and the top was covered in blue tape for the landau top look

it was hit again with gloss black

then i got a scull pattern from the knock off HOK line of paints that were sold at WAL-FART(i mean WAL-MART)

that was hit by the same color paint pen as the lace pattern was

then it got sprayed with 3 coats of duplicolor enamel clear

so right now im guesstamating this build is worth around $150 with all the work i have done just for the paint alone

but im not selling it and the scary part is im not done with it yet

hope you enjoyed my long process of paints just as much as i did :)

Evil dont take this the wrong way, but there is something wrong witth the roof look at this picture of the build, right at the door line on the roof it looks like you got a crack, DSCN1270.jpg Or is my one good eye playing trick's on me?.

And with all the paint how heavy is this bird now?
