I applied the final coat of paint today. I think it came out pretty good. ImageImageImageImage[imghttp://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad315/ppauto/005-3.jpg][/img]ImageImage

Very nice!

You're right, raymond. A lot of restorations here are looking really good. I am getting inspired... :shock:

Great paint job. It makes ya wonder how they produced so many of these things in a relatively short time.
I'm with Rick...I like to look at the background of pictures to see what other guys have in their garages.
