Travis, with this paint job, everything else is going to look worn. I am getting new sills, new everything. Need interior to look "crisp'. Out with the old, in with the new. Will be sharp and black hides a lot of ill's that show up more with bright colors.

Okay here come some pictures. Stan doesn't like to send pics before the job is done but these look so hot and I don't want to wait!. These are fresh paint, 3 coats of clear, no wet sanding, no buffing, just paint on a guys car. Hood wasn't attached but we wanted it painted side by side on the car so we had an absolute match.
Wheeeee!

Coolest project I've ever seen. I loved the articles in CE and can't wait to see more of them on the other areas you have noted, especially the rear end build. I can't wait to see the finished results and I know you have to be past anxious by now. Best Wishes!

We brought Bruiser home for the holidays. Will return to the paint shop for striping and 3 more coats of clear and buffing Sunday after Christmas.
It has been almost 2 years since I could house all three cars in the garage at one time, given how many piles and shelves full of boxes were stored in there!
In the first picture you can see that the top half of door and front fender have already been wetsanded. The back fender is shiny!

I just finished ordering all the parts for the black interior. Correct bolts and screws, all new door inner hardware, deluxe door panels, will really be sharp! We'll start on the interior right after New Years!

Congrats!
I'm running a few months behind you...but getting there.
Taking a bit off for now, then willh it it hard in the spring now that the EFI is sorted out and the engine is running.
Hope to catch you at an event this summer!
