Sweet! What's up with the roof pics? Is that a krinkle finish or metalflake on the roof? In the pics it almost looks like some stuff called bare metal foil I used to use as a kid for modeling.

Those pics of the roof were right after I shot metal flake. Some of them were standing up. Looks much better now that it's color sanded and buffed

I think that he is referring to replacements for the suspensions' springs.

Thank you very much for actually offering a reply to my question. Call me crazy but I was thinking it was some sort of old school krinkle or textured finish. Kinda cool looking.

I'll get some final paint pictures up this weekend. I kinda put this car together backwards. I got too excited about getting the body work done that I hadn't done any of the motor work yet.
