Seems like there's always something else it needs! Putting carpeting in my wife's 69 vert now...paint it next...I wonder if she'd like a BBC in there?...Ah! It never ends! (Guess that's why the call it a "hobby", I recon!)

Very nice looking vert!

Deacon Don, You did a beautiful job. Did you do all of the paint work yourself??? Regardless, be proud my friend, be proud!!!

I sprayed a little of it just to say I did some of it, but a buddy of mine did most of it. We worked on it together. I sanded til my arm fell off....still healing from that. We did ALL of the work ourselves. I'm pretty proud of the outcome. Not perfect, but darn close.
