wow Doug im amazed at the work you have done, its been a while since i have looked at this thread but im really regretting that. Keep up the great work.

[4SPEED]

thanks , 

all the small parts are painted and looks really good.  we had to paint them in my garage, the paint booth had a 50's truck in it getting baked.  .  the bottom side of the deck lid took forrrever to prep, but it turned out very nice and wont need color sanded and buffed.

I'll try to get some pics up soon.   tomorrow is the fenders + moving all the parts to my shop.

Looking forward to seeing this!!!!!

I'm excited for you.

That's an awesome pictures. You should do the same once you sand and buff it. If you did this as a career that would make for a good advertisement picture.

here's some more pics.  most all still needs 1200 wet sanded and buffed. but it should look like a black mirror when its done

done








needs sanded,  but still looks very good. no dirt or junk in it.

[Justin]

Those mirrors are not sanded yet?

[4SPEED]

Nope...  if you take your time on the small parts , you wont need to color sand them. 

[Justin]

man. I didn't know paint could look that good without sanding and buffing. I am sure it has a lot to do with the quality of the work under the paint too right?
