Dragging this back up out of the past . Sorry for such an absence, no excuse other then lifes tragedies. Moving on from them it is time to get back to modeling. Going to shoot for finishing this one up before the New Year.

Looks good man. Just a tip for future reference whenever you are doing a multi color paint job. I always lay a clearcoat in between colors. In other words after your first color and it has cured completely, shoot a layer of clear down, doesn't have to be real thick, then after it's cured well, mask off and shoot you next color. The reason for this is in case you do have any bleed over, you can hit that spot with either a polish compound or sandpaper grit of around 1500 to 2000 and wetsand lightly those spots. It may seem like more work but it actually is easier than stripping and going through all that hassle. I've not had to dip a body in many years. The only thing to watch for is the compatiblility of the types of paint your using. Such as staying with laquer on all coats or enamel or whatever you used. Hope this helps !!

What a great project and great work you've done on it Sean, as I happen to know the current owner of the car and have sat in it also. No, I didn't get to drive it. LOL!

Nice to see you back!

[Old Buckaroo]

Thanks guys, I am still plugging away on this. It the little things that burn up the bench time and trying to remember my " great ideas" from several years back is taking the most time.

Roger old friend - Glad to see you stopping by.
