Here it is in clear.

Well, this one sort of took an interesting turn. My buddy had the paintwork 90% completed and just about ready for clear when something went wrong and he decided to strip it down and start over. Meanwhile, my son's high school football team had an exceptional year and they went to the state championships. And although they lost, it was still a very big moment for my son. Now, I from the beginning, told my buddy to paint this thing however he wanted. I wanted to give him the artistic freedom to lay down whatever he felt like doing. However, I did not see this coming. Unbeknownst to me, he followed along with my son's football season via my Facebook page and randomly one day sent me a message that the van body was about done and he asked if I wanted to see it. I was blown away with what I saw! He painted the van as a tribute for my son and his amazing year of football! So now what was going to be a model for MY shelf, is now going to be a sentimental gift for my son to put on HIS shelf. Anyways, I'll show you a couple of the in-progress photos I requested from my friend and then I'll post up pictures tonight of the cleared body that I just received yesterday.

Hey thank you! No, not yet. I’m hoping to have it wrapped up in the next few months!

That's very nice! Love that color!

So after I painted the car in February, as previously mentioned, some ghosting came through of previous bodywork, etc. I also noticed a few things I wasn't crazy about when it came to bodywork so I addressed all of those. Add to that how busy my summers are and well...now you know why I haven't updated this since February. Lol Anyways, I finally laid down some color yesterday that I'm happy with! Now onto foil and clear!

Wicked cool thread! The talent of some of you is absolutely astounding!! Here's my contribution. A poorly customized '61 Ranchero. I tried to give the darn thing away at a club meeting and no one would step up. I almost threw it in the garbage and then thought it would be fun to show the guys what they missed out on. Lol Here's a link to the build thread if anybody is interested: Before: After being stripped: And how it looks now. It will hopefully be painted this month!

That's clean!

I'm diggin' this!

Good grief!! That is awesome!!

That's pretty!!

WOW!!! NICE job on that!!

Nice patina work!
