Whoda thought you could get this nice a paint job out of a $5.00 can of paint and a coat of Meguires liquid wax. PS, two coats within 30 minutes and I didn't sand it either !!!

old-hermit Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the comments and compliments guys, it's nice to know somebodys watching and likes my work. how did u fix thoose wonderful louver for the backlid? I used a resin 29 roadster deck lid I got from Jeff at Retro Resin. It was smaller than the 32's so I cut a hole in the 32 deck lid and recessed the 29 to fit ... Then I filled the seams with putty and sanded it smooth. A couple of coats of Plasti-kote spot filler primer to fill any deep scratches and it's done. .
