1964 Oldsmobile HT Lowrider build

Just pulled this out again , started it years ago . It somehow survived a few moves , and dodged the angry GF . Got to find a new taillight panel and lights , but here we go ....

Applied foil before the base coat , now that the candy is on, I used some 400 grit to expose the foil below .

I had a batch of decals made years ago . This is a scaled down decal of a real mural that I’ve always loved , as I’m a car painter by trade . It’s been on that trunk lid for at least 10 years now .
