    I'm not a painter, but I do paint a car every couple of years, here is my attempt at making the old shoebox, look more presentable.
    I'm turning into a one man show, since I like to do most everything on a build myself, next will be upholstery, I'm getting pretty good with the sewing machine :)
    Hope you like.
    Here is the thread to the whole chop/build.

    Looks dam good to me. Body looks nice and straight. Sometimes it'a hard to get the panels straight thru the gaps to the next panel. Some get that 'bird wing' distortion down the side. Nice work.
