Looks beautiful! Really appreciate the close up pictures of the door jams, trunk lid, and especially the rear fender joints. Love the silver. Richard

That looks like fun! As you obviously know, it's all in the prep and you did a meticulous job in that area.
Could I ask what color you painted the inside of the hood panel? Is it body color?
Thanks for posting,
Phillip

It will be black under hood and for the fake air ducts in grill. Also I can not take credit for paint and bodywork. But I’m very very pleased the way it’s turning out
