Keep up the good work.

I was just going to do a quick repaint but my buddy the body guy told me if he is painting it he has to do the whole body, so off came all the old paint body work is being done right and we are changing the color.

we are changing the color.

what's the new color going to be?

 

[jtproudmarinedad]

I'm going with a Black Cherry W/Gold Metal Flake, There will be no Badging or Chrome of any sort inside or out. Keeping the red interior making it a little darker maybe. Have to see what I can come up with for a color on the new seat cover's.

Thank You it seems like the more I do the more I have to do, Coming along slowly but surely though! I started smoothing the inner fender wells today. welding up all those fucking holes that I wont be needing. Have some minor body repair to do this week then it is finally off to finish and paint. Found an 83 interior for it in Black so that will go good with the Black Cherry paint.
