Not tinted. It is u6. Hadn't been sanded or anything yet. Plus the metallic isn't really visible under shop lighting....

Very cool. It has to feel rewarding to be that far along with it.

It is.. I almost gave up on her... At one point, it was a shell... No interior, no engine/trans, no front suspension.... It was hard to keep at it.....
Here's her heart and my little helper...



I'll get more pics monday

Believe it or not, my little girl helped me disassemble the interior, install the Holley fuel pump under the car(she held the 9/16 wrench in the hatch area while I tightened underneath), and helped with reassembly! Anyway, here's the fox with clear... Tomorrow is eetsanding, and body reassembling and we're done!

That looks great! It's nice to see all that hard work put in be rewarded with a sweet looking paint job like that!
