Default FINALLY off to paint!
After an 8 month waiting list at the paint shop my 76 is finally off to paint after an 8 yr frame on resto. Its never had great paint mainly cause the original owner I bought her from 25 yrs ago had repainted it himself . Looked good just didn't last.It will be Orange when she comes home hopefully in 3 weeks. Its being done at a friends collision shop where they will finish stripping and apply the money shot!! Hope to be posting pics SOON!!
