Bringing out some dead. Shelby and a Tri 5.

[Dragline]

As I dig through my rather vast stash for something to inspire I often run across either stalled projects or bodies painted when conditions we ripe for later building.

These are an example of both by coincidence. The 55 convertible was stalled for reasons that escape me and the Shelby I recall was painted, decaled and polished for building when conditions were not as favorable. 

Living in the North East as I do requires some planning for the winter months.

While I do own an airbrush and booth, it was not always thus.

So I must make a choice between the two and I believe I will go with the 07 Shelby. It has far more work ahead and I am also rather pleased with how it turned out. The clear coat added a tint to the white stripes during it's tenure in the box on the shelf and is pleasant to my eye.

So Shelby it is. Work begins this afternoon.

Some progress.

Cool looking Shelby and I like the paint work. I would have gone with the '55 Chevy, but maybe you'll post that build later.

They all make it here eventually. 

Thanks for looking.

The last couple before it is done.

Very tasty build! I like all the detail in the engine compartment, but particularly envy your paint and finishing skills

Those both look great!

The ‘55 looks almost complete already.  And your choice of color is perfect.  
Looking forward to seeing both of them under glass..

Thank you both, I appreciate the kind words.
