Such a Beautiful Shape... Almost hate to Paint...Almost
 
It's been a LONG road after the deer strike, but a really fun road. She got color on her today but I couldn't help finding the lighting, the curves, the waves, the edges... stunning. Dang... what a cool car. Kinda like an old Farrah Fawcett poster to a 13 YO boy. Sorta

I agree. And yes, I had that poster.

Factoid 07-19-2018 06:57 PM

No, it definitely is. Just like Farrah, the headlights are covered and the curves are abundant. Nice!

:iagree: That's why many of us consider the midyears one of the most iconic designs of all time. Good luck going forward. :thumbs:

Everyone but the kid across the street. His mom wouldn’t let him have one.

Looking good, and ready for the big event!

Farrah Fawcett.....Gotta wonder if she ever knew how much abuse she inflicted upon young boys! LOL!

Nothing against Farrah, but I much prefer the more sensuous lines of the '58-'60, with dual headlights (exposed), not a sharp edge on the body, and a superbly rounded derriere.

Ahhhh..... so we have a Jennifer Lopez admirer..... certainly a valid opinion.

Not a big "Pair'o'major Faucets" fan.....remember that one ?

When I saw my car in the red oxide primer I felt the same....the lines in that muted color were almost too sexy to cover with shiny paint...

Yeup..... The curves, valleys, fillets, blends, and surfaces of the C2 are sometimes camouflaged by a shiny paint surface. Those pics of your '63 reveal features enhanced by the lighting and reduced reflections. Kinda like seeing her with her clothes off. Agree Frankie.... those shots have a unexpected, different beauty emphasizing the shape, not diminished by the paint. Anyway.... Mine'll be a very shiny red today. :hurray: Thx
