A watched pot never boils especially while you are watching paint dry. So after 2 1/2 months doing metal work and 3 months of paint prep she finally gets some real paint.

My first time seeing the body painted. Two coats.





She is even wrapped up to keep in that new car smell.





Roughed up a bit before the next two coats.



Stripping has started. All in paint.





Roughed up again for final stripes a clear coats.



Laying the rest of the stripes.









Buffing!



Ooooooo shiney.
