Wow...when I look at what you have done, I just wish I had that sheetmetal and painting ability. Looks great!

I can do all the body and fab work fine, but the paint, I can and have.  but this one, like my 79 will be painted by a pro.  this black paint job will look like a pool of used oil sitting in the sun. the bird kit painted on and buried in a mile of clear.

and wait till you see what I do to the grills. it isn't going to be gold paint on them.  :o

yes , I'm talking to a guy that thinks he can do it. I sent him one cracked grill so he can try it. I hope it works.

2.50 per sq/inch.  some body got a calculator in hand?

yes the high build urethane primer ( has a hardener). the stuff is the best, and hard as a rock. I will not use a lacquer primer. it a waist of time.

Sail panels look nice. Did you lead them back in or just use filler?
