Here's the oldest picture I have of the car from 1999. This is pretty much the way it looked when I found her, several shades of beat-up primer. All I saw was a solid foundation. It was a 4 bbl. 360 at this time. And I was 45 lbs heavier then.
Then I replaced most of the trim with nice stuff and had this brillant idea to shoot my car 1 beat-up color. I tried to shoot flat black primer, which turned out to be black BASECOAT, and I obtained this lovely neo-ghetto finish you see below. This is the way the car looked last October when I pulled it apart. The car was F`UGLY!
Naturally I'd like to post a picture of a turquoise `68 Fastback to illustrate what I'm expecting, but after all these years I've never found a picture of a turquoise `68 Fastback! That is, until the day I bring it to the first show. Thats when ALL the others will show up....:toothy7:
Here's a Johnny Lightning I re-painted in supposedly L1 Turquoise.
