    my first hotrod finally under paint

     








    this was my first roof replacement , bodywork, and paint.. came out pretty good.. there is an area right at the top of the drip rail on the drivers side where the paint is a little thin, but it is hard to see unless you look for it so it will stay the way it is...

    Way to go!!! Very well done, the car looks great!!!! Bet you're glad now that you chose to replace the nasty roof fill previously done on the car???? Congrats on the good work and sticking to it, the results are well worth the effort!

    Looks great Simon! That is one nice hot rod to be proud of.
    Me: I don't know how to build a hot rod.
    Old Hot Rodder: You ever build a model car?
    Me:Yeah...
    Old Hot Rodder: Well instead of using glue you weld.

    Wow! A bit of a "sinister" look with the dark windows against that base white. Very nice.
