Hey that looks really nice. I'm sure it looks even better in person. That's a pretty color. How long did it take at the paint shop? Mine is going in around the first of April and they say it will take 2 weeks.

Burners are you talking of an entire paint job or just a touch-up to an existing coat? Mine was done 18 months ago and is still car show material. It was 2 1/2 weeks to do the touch-up due to rain but a full paint job took 6 weeks to get it back. It's alot of work and most painters will NOT do a whole job from scratch becuase they lose money in the deal, at least that's what my painter said.

Ray thanks for the compliment. But compared to Merlin, 1bad69 my car is mediocre (sp?) It's the best I can do on based on limited budget, body style. You know how I feel about chrome bumper cars (my old 70 vert). But again thanks.
