remeber this is unrubbed- i think its going to look good Wink If a paint job looks clean in florecent lights you know you are in the right track


And thats all i got for now- Its amazing how you can spend 6 months doing body work and it doesnt look like its going anywhere- Then after 4 hours in the booth  everything comes together :tapatio:  :dance:

no not a painter- i dabble in body work but most of the finish work was done by logan davis.  He was pritty big in the custom car world back in the late 80's through the 90's.  infact back then he was doing finish work for most of art hemsels paint jobs and doingfinal straightening on some of the big names in california.  Im working fora custom shop in brentwood now that does nothing but customs- restos and hot rods.  Hopefully ill pick up a few things while im there Wink

That thing is lookin' sweet, Scotty. For a semi-hot rod it did have some real god road manners and power, especially for a big-a$$ B-Body, I love it. I wonder how it's gunna be with the new motor and 6-speed?

Anyone rember us rolling past VW paradise a few years ago, pretending to be a cop with parking lights on and making threats over the PA? (funny stuff...)
Same car...
