'Preciate it.

 

I had to strip the first run at the color due to dirt I missed in the paint cup. Re-cleaned everything but that, so wouldn't ya know it. That in itself was no big deal...an hour or so with the high test alky on a cloth and it was ready to go...but I apparently missed one little sliver while masking the body off, and some alky wicked down through the mask onto the trunk.

 

. Dunkittydunk a day in the junk.

Thanks. Bill.

 

Got the body all cleaned up and re-shot in primer, and sprayed the roof. I'm gonna let this set up a while before I do the bottom again.

a shame about the paint job. Can't wait to see the two of them together. This is a great teaser.

No justice done by this pic. The blonde looks fantastic with the brown to the naked eye. I couldn't be more pleased with the combo between them and how the interior colors play off everything. No clear or buffing yet...gonna let it sit a week or so before I touch it.

That is just a beautiful color combo. Nice paint work you've done. I can't wait to see this one wrapped up.

Looks better than I had imagined it would, and  in my mind's eye, I was seeing a pretty car.

 

Well done, Chris. I'm glad to see your recovery is not interfering with your building one bit.
