Man, the top looks so good with the drip rail all the way around. Best chopped 80 I’ve seen for sure.

I’m surprised you didn’t weld up the rear heater hole in the floor.. Have plans for it?

Clear coat down on jams & backside of doors + firewall.

Giving it about another hour before pulling it out of the booth.

I think by end of day Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest we have this done and painted.

Oh ya, I just really like this on the hood. It’s nearly as good on the doors but if I had to pick, it’s hood for me.

Can do whatever I figure, easy to chemically weld/bond a piece of SS or aluminum over it.

Outside of doors in sealer now.

Darker color, base before clear.

Third and last coat of clear going down right now.

I second guessed my choice of the darker color this morning so did a double check on the smoked whiskey color I originally picked.

In the end I/we decided it just wasn’t enough contrast so stuck with the Birmingham Metallic.

Should be done with this tomorrow or Wednesday.

Oh ya, super happy I stuck with this color now!

The two final colors next to each other.

One more for today of the two colors.

[SNLC]

Sanded and or scuffed with 600g and or gray scotch bright after seam sealer + sealer. Basically that is what the whole body has gotten after 2k epoxy and body filler work.

At home on the couch l! Those were the last pics I took before I left the shop. I have spent the better part of a week going around in my head on these colors. In the end I am pretty happy with the decisions. Stencils didn’t play out either but no worries we will replace those with vinyl/stickers. Still doing side accent stripe in the “black gold”.

Cheers
