1958 Dodge
Build it exactly how you want to, don't listen to the BS about how you should have done it this way or that way. I painted my '58 Plymouth 2 door wagon outside, in the dirt, with a spray gun and left over single stage paint from my '65 Valiant (the cheapest single stage paint I could buy). Not all of us have the funds to take the car to the big shops, or to buy the expensive paint. Not to mention we don't all do show quality work. I have tried and tried to paint my own cars, and they all turn out driver quality. I'm happy with them, but it sure bugs other people for some reason. They all think if it's driver quality, it's not good enough. I thought the fun in this hobby was learning how to do things ourselves. Anyone can pay someone else, the true hot rodders do things themselves, no matter how it turns out.
