thanks Ross, i think its pretty close for right now anyways. till i can drive it and fine tune it.

speaking of which.

been stairing at the pic of when i got the car. i really do like the original paint and how it has aged. i know i have been down this road before, but there is no way i can afford a 10k paint job now or in the next 5 years.

i'm ready to start enjoying my car. so i'm thinking about putting it back together as is. but doing the chrome work and interior. just leaving the paint as is. i kinda like it.

idk. not trying to be lazy or cheap, honestly, i just really like the old weathered look of it. i would be way less nervous about driving it too, and being all pretty much new mechanically...i could drive it anywhere without a worry per say.

its only original once and i'm pretty dang sure the paint is original, just looking at the fenders on that inner fender paint thread and based on what Ross said about the painting technics they used.

i put nufinish on a spot on the trunk lid when i got it.....still shiny in that spot to this date, fyi.
