Paint and Body My Beast is Looking GOOD!

Really feels great to see your project turn the corner. 2 years of looking and driving this beast to finally see it come full circle alarmist makes all the work worth it! Just a few more weeks and it will be show worthy!

Nice color choice

 

[Vinnyc1487]

Thanks guys! It sure is turning out nicely can’t wait to get it back!

 

[Potomus Pete]

Now you have to deal with perfect paint, but it really is nice. Be good to it.

 

[Vinnyc1487]

Oh it will be treated very very well! Hopefully give me more reason to drive it! It was so ugly before lol I would only drive it at night

 

[Potomus Pete]

That was ugly. Those doors must have taken some work. Who painted it a local body shop, or a friend.

 

[Vinnyc1487]

Local body that I know the owner of so he really took care of the car. It’s came a long long long way from June of 2020 when I bought it.

 

[Vinnyc1487]

Got a clean running mostly clean car from Florida and it’s been a not stop project since

 

[Potomus Pete]

Man, your as OCD as I am. Just think now you have a real asset money wise. Time well spent.

 

[Potomus Pete]

Are you keeping the cheese graters??

 

[Vinnyc1487]

Yes, I did keep the the cheese graters. As ugly as they are they are the oem and I actually don’t mind them. I’m going with smoked head and fog lamps with a smoked running horse cobra grill. I almost bought the smoked LX tail lights but can’t do it. Yeah started out as a “cheap” product with a Gt40 build and now I’m here lol. I hope it’s worth close to 20k now. Between buying and shipping the car plus my upgrades I’m at around 13-14k. Looking back part of my wishes I would have bought the nicest most original car I could have for the money

Man, that blue looks awesome! I have my '86 in for paint, but it's going back silver similar to original. How tall is your cowl hood?
