Nice going & good luck. Bodywork takes so much effort and time.
 
thanks everyone

its not perfect by any means but i was not looking for a show stopping award winning ride. i just wanted something nice that's all one color and i could say i did that or had a hand doing that.

i went to bed at 10:00 and been up since 3:00 not being able to sleep and were not paining it until 1:00 so not sure what to heck im gonna do with myself until then lol
 
get out there and make some maple syrup till 1:00!!???????????????????
if more people in the world had the opportunity to do something to take pride in, maybe the world wouldn't be so screwed up!!!!???
will be a great ride!!

thanks lol i actually made pancakes at 4:00 and actually had to open a new gallon of syrup :)
 
so they were not kidding when they said midnight blue lol. it looks black in the garage and outside with no sun so im hoping its a little blue in the sun. But either way im happy to have it all one color and looking forward to getting it together tomorrow and driving it the rest of the summer.

maybe we will pull it back apart this winter and do it a lighter color but you never know it might grow on me lol

fantastic!!!!! lord only knows i couldnt do that. that really makes an old man happy to see you doing that.
 
Looks black in the pictures. I love it. Congrats. Post a few more when you get
it trimmed up. Can't wait till I can get to that point.
I always am impressed and inspired by home paint and body. Very nice.
 
had a little sun today but still not much to see what it will look like on a nice day. im sure it will look many different ways as i start to drive it again. i hope to get the rest of the trim and door handles and locks and get it inspected.

Got the rest of the door handles and key lock's installed today( still mising some trim). Now working on carpet and bucket seats to get rid of that old nasty bench seat that is falling apart.



i will clean them up before covering them. the Seats are out of a Volkswagen and I will just put covers on them to match the black interior but I think they will work good. they seem to fit well and are more comfortable then what was in there so now i just need to make some brackets.
