    Looks awesome. Love how the drip rail trails off on the horizontal. Well I love all of it, but that just stood out nicely in those pics!

    Well, the body is straight, and she IS in color, but black primer color :(

    The body is ready for paint and all my chrome and stainless is pretty much ready. I'm really thinking of going with a custom mixed satin chocolate brown paint.

    I have been on the fence about shiny paint, but when I imagine my car done, I keep seeing brown fades in satin .... I dunno, still dragging my feet on actual color, but she is straight and I'm driving!

    P.S. no, Im not leaving it as is and painting my wheels red. :D

    thanks a bunch Eric! Getting ready to do my front garnish mouldings, and wing vents. Finished the bodywork and primed the "easy" ones today (quarter windows, windshield, rear)

    Thanks for the inspiration! Moving right along....

    Glad to see her up and driving! It is ultimately up to you, but on this car I think that shiny paint would be the way to go. That would add the touch of class that this car deserves. Beauty.

    Great work. Chocolate brown? Just be ready to defend as this does not look like a turd from the pics.

    Thanks alot man, we'll see what actually happens with the color and the shiny/satin. Im all over the place.

    Will do, thanks a bunch!!!

    So far so good!!

    I do, I believe she deserves the be painted, taken care of and driven a bunch!! :) Haha, thank you!!!

    I know, I know.... :)

    Haha, Turd!!

    Mopa'ar to ya!! :)

    I wholeheartedly agree!! Finding someone not over or under qualified has been a bit of a problem up till now. Maybe that's why I want to go satin.... I can lay some primer and paint some parts here and there, but walking a whole car and it looking good is another thing. Good, cheap and fast, I can have two, right? Hahaha!! :D Nice build you are doing too!
