Cheers everybody, Now I am fired up, I'm getting pulled in two directions, My car and customeer cars. I started clearing over single stage while wet some time ago, It seems to hold up. I sprayed my old 67 that brian plummer owns now about 10 years ago and it still looks pretty good and before that I had a bay window double cab that I did the same and held up. But paint has a way of breaking your heart some times. I have heard lots of good about water base, But would like to paint something that was not that important and see how it holds up here in nevada. Again thanks everybody
next time your down, I'll drive my elky which has a cheapo one day paint job.  don't look at the quality of bodywork etc. (it's a one day daily driver) just the paint.  It has been a year and a half outside car and she still shines great, which is why I asked your opinion.  the ghia is on deck.

Looking good, Danny... what camera are you using for these shots? They look well composed and the lighting is good, too.

Hey Danny,this is allready an awesome car,and it isn't even finished yet !!!!!!   Shocked
But I have a (stupid?) question,why are the wheel wells painted in 2 colors(black and the bumpermounts bodycolor)?Why not paint it all black or all bodycolor?(and keep posting the pics)

The jury has commisurated and the verdict is in on the fender wells
I officially rule to keep the fender wells exactly as they reside.  (gavel noise)

DANNY!

I got the carb windows in the mail today ... Man these things are NICE!
You must be some kind of self-automated-metal-molesting-MACHINE! After all, I know what kind of fuel you run on! Wink Grin
Your parts are every bit as nice as they appear ... actually even nicer.
Love to be your apprentice ...

Alright, get back to work!
