Thank you, so glad to be at this stage, prepping for paint takes forever. One more milestone, cut and buff engine and trunk compartment, and paint will be done, well except for touch ups I'm sure will find and make a few before its over,

Looks like awesome! Brain candy!

I assume you only paint your own cars?

Hard work, skill and long hours show in the results.

yep persistence is the key, wet sanded today, looks like I will be shooting a few more coats in the engine compartment, don't like some of the coverage on a few odd angle areas, owell one more day, hard shooting paint standing on your head. last car I did was a 68 charger but it was on a rotisserire, way easier to get to those hard spots, doubtful if I'll ever do another one this way, tough on an old fat guy,
