Finally got some paint on this thing, got a few bug issues to deal with before I can call it done though. :unsure:

that looks really good blove nice job 😉
Hey Barry that looks really good,man I’m jealous of your home shop..looks awesome.Are ya going to use a stencil for the stripes or free hand it??Is that the FC 720 clear on there??
Hell of a nice job Barry!
Thanks guys, if I hadn’t made a mess of it trying to dig gnats out of it I’d be in pretty good shape, got the bugs out but got 2 hangers in the clear trying to blow clear in the craters I made digging ’em out. Hopefully they’ll sand out , if not I may have to do some touch up on the pass fender and quarter.
Yep Jayson that’s the FC720 Clear on there over Omni base. I’m gonna free hand the stripes. Think the 1/4″ tape is a bit thinner than the original outside line but I can live with that. Stencil kit seems kinda pricey to me for what it is. I was planning on just burning the clear in over the stripes on the filler panel at the quarter seams. If I fudge up the pass quarter dealing with the bug disaster I’ll just clear the whole roof and both quarters over when I bury the stripes.
looking really good Bloverby.
I have good using masking tape to pick things out of the clear without doing too much damage 😉Wow that looks great…. I wish someday to have a shop like that at home.. well I guess I kinda live at my two shops now anyhow lolololol I love the fact that the entire build was done with the new tires and wheels… I hate working on old cars with junk wheels it just does not seem as fun… again man great job!!!!!!!!

Problem came in when I decided it made sense to blow clear into the divots left behind from the extractions. :whistle:
Got a little carried away with the clear and hung runs in those spots. :blush:
My mistake but I still feel inclined to blame it on the insects. :lol1
Great job Bloverby.I really like the post form the start, till this point. With all the pics on the progress you made.
Sweetness…and you work so damn clean!
Hopefully I can get the topsides of the hood and decklid painted and get the stripes on it this weekend. It’s been a real struggle finding the free time to work on this one.

Only being able to do stuff on the weekends is making this project take forever it seems.
Hope to get the SS stripes on next weekend. :pcorn:
