Had it 1 week now and it'll go in the booth 2morrow or Thursday.
Comin right along

Or maybe 2day

Bottom is already painted/ color sanded and buffed by og builder. I'll roll er in and bag the bottom.

You know what Don, it is the simplicity of your cars that make them so darn attractive and quick sellers. I like that colour more and more and once completed will look awesome out in the sun. I personally have always thought hot rods should have floor mounted shifters but I'm changing my mind as some of those column change shifters and complete columns look darn good and also allows extra seating space on the bench seat.

Thanx 4 the Kudos Mark, just buffed the deck lid and took it outside, the color explodes in the sun. re: the shifter, I've driven x country too many times with a floor shifter bangin my knee for 5/600 miles a
day. ain't no fun. Also more room on the floor to throw "STUFF"

Wow, you really get things done fast! Has a great look to it, and the color is perfect! Are you recovering that
seat, or replacing it? I have that same seat in my Coupe, and would be interested in seeing how it looks recovered.
I know what you mean about that shifter! LOL I can't live without a arm rest, and moved the factory one from the
side of the seat to the center where the belts came through. Keep the pics coming!

Don, that's a great comment - and exactly what my father always reminded me about getting things done.

Beautiful work as usual, by the way. I simply love that color.

2 1/2 hrs in the booth B4 sunrise. It don't need no stinkin buffer, wheels back on and out in the sun cookin right now.
Slap it 2 gether over the weekend and of to Tim Rein for another of his great Interiors.
Then For Sale. Cheeeeep 4 a brand new car.

What is the color? It looks much redder in the latest photos.

Amazing off the gun finish Don. I would think anybody who worked for you over those 45 years you ownered the Bodyshop would of been a fool if they didn't learn from you .

Thanx for the Kudo's. Have taught many to pull the trigger over the years. Best advice I can give to anyone is, mix your ratios properly, use the right temp reducer for conditions and don't be afraid to pour it on.
Side note temp has a lot to do with it but humidity does also.
Had an ole painter years ago tell me that when he shot equiptment up in Alaska that he'd use slow reducer when it was freezing outside because there was zero humidity and the reducer was sucked out real fast.
When I lived in AZ I've shot cars when it was aver 110 degrees in the booth and used straight retarder. Ya talk about flow and shine !!!!!!!!

Al, it actually Cabernet Maroon off a 1971 Ford Truck, camera's and lighting in the booth do make it look red.

Finally got a pic of the color that is more true, not red cast

That's a nice color.
