thanks zincy. pics are pretty crummy in all honesty you cant really see the metallic in the pics . hopefully after cut and buff it will look even better.

Looks great and I can't wait to see it reassembled!

And congratulations on spraying the paint yourself. I've really got to hand it to anyone that does their own body and paint. Have you painted before?

thanks for the compliment . i have sprayed very little really i work in the truck fabrication industry as a welder and have painted a few fronts on utility bodies but they are almost always just plain old white. this is my first attempt at spraying a whole car and in metallic at that . lol

i did all my own body work and sprayed it myself in my little garage. started in january and hope to have it completed and back on the road by mid spring. still lots to do .

That metallic is tricky stuff to get a decent looking paint job with, I've only sprayed it a few times years ago so I know how diffucult it can be. Nice paint job

thanks JDS. that was my fear was that my metallic would get all molten or tiger stripped. but luck was on my side i guess you could say. I plan to start cutting and buffing it this weekend .
