wohoo. I got back with my car sunday from paint, and I will have to say that I am really happy with how the bodywork and paint came out. I got the chance to spray the whole car and had my neighbor (a professional body guy) watch over me and give me some tips on my first paint job. I had a blast doing it and it came out just awesome. I getting really excited because now im getting close to being on the road.

That looks awesome!!!

nice...

Nice job. Post more pics as you get her back together...

Nice job, great color.

Sa-weet, is that a 400 hood in the box?

Imfamous last words... Some re-assembly required.

Hmm, it looks like the box says Mustang?

Sweet! Is that #55 Crystal Turquois or #87 Windward Blue? I'm still a few years away from your stage of body'n'paint.

Very nicely done for your first paint job.

Good work...now each piece you put on will be there to stay!

Nice color, the rest is just fun.

The color is windward blue. I noticed in the sun it has a slight green tint to it, but I love the color. Im hoping to have the car put back together and on the road by july 5th, which would be the end of the second year of me working on the car. Its come a long ways, the motor and transmission are rebuilt, ive patched the fenders and hood, done an extreme amount of bodywork on the doors, replaced the rear deck filler panel, replaced the trunk floor, replaced both quarter panels and a few things behind the quarters. Im really happy now that im starting to see the end of this project and its almost time to start enjoying it and taking it to cruises and just driving it.

I couldn't tell from your pics in the garage. It will really be nice to see it in full sunlight. #51 Liberty Blue was the color I couldn't think of; I had to get my paint chip sheet out. #51 is darker.

Don't rush things. Ya don't want to screw anything up this late in the game.

Lookin' Good!

thats a mustang hood. 69-78 if i saw it right!

haha. the hood is for my dads mustang. The 'stang was in an accident, but is almost all better now. Id love to have a 400 hood on my 'bird but money is my biggest limiting factor. I would like to in the future put a 400 hood on and a hood tach, but im not sure if I have the heart to do that to a #'s matching 350 car. It sure would look cool though.
When my car is finished ill have to get a good picture of my dads cars and mine.

Mine and the daughter's boyfriend's stang.

You and others will love the car just as much without a 400 hood. Go for the sleeper look.

Looks like the quick car is on the left.

Looks like she is dating a fine young man..
