Default Baby's home from paint jail

11 months ago(wrong date in the pic)


Today



And now the fun resumes, still got the interior to install, All the electrical to sort out, repair and clean up. New door glass to put in and oh ya, the side mounts. Need a couple new tires up front too. I've had the car almost 2 years and have only driven it once, from the car lot to home. I'm dieing to get behind the wheel, couple more months

When I got my 82 apraised for paint, he told me it would take a month to totaly strip the car and paint, three month's later I got it back. You can't hurry perfection! I't was worth the wait, but at the time I was pressing the issue. Looking back it was worth the wait. Love the yellow, and just in time for spring. Congrat's and miles of smile's.

Looks terrific! Don't forget to paint the bumperettes black! Spring is just around the corner so get it road worthy & drive it while you finish up the detail stuff.

Thanks Guys. Yeah, my son worked for the owner part time last summer. He and the owners son repainted the building. I never noticed the trim till I was posting the pics.
