Well thank you KB! I guess I still got it......
Some dirt specs were inevitable.....pics make it look worse than it actually is....
I took a those pics of the left quarter while it was still wet intentionally, someone said I was foolish for going black with an original steel body....

 

So I'm confused.
Is it going to be cut and buffed to a smooth shiny finish or is it going to be semi-gloss like the first couple shots appear?

 

Reshot the deck lid and front panel tonight....inadvertently drug the air hose across the corner and dripped paint outta the gun vent hole on the panel....handled!

Satin Rod.....it hadn't finished setting up when I took the pics. I took the pics of the left quarter wet to see how it looked....that quarter was wailed and I wanted to see just how good I got it....

Removed another leaf from the rear and got it where I’m happy....the front drop axle will give a nice rake! Also figuring my plate location. I’ve got one of those Chevy proboscis tag lamps I’m gonna shorten and make a nice license bracket....more tomorrow. Thanks fellas!!
