Nice job! What paint system did you use?

TIm

Dupont "Croma Base" Two stage

how mutch $ did that set you back?

the chroma base line is a good line of paint....i scrapped out a very shiney 74 last year that had a dupont chroma base b/c paintjob on it that was a tad over ten years old... J

$7000.00 (and yes, I'm still married)

To justify the costs, I must tell u that the body was in pretty sad shape. The rear firewall and all metal underneath the rear window was replaced. as well as another front apron (from the gas tank forward) was also replaced. The whole car was bead blasted. I had them block the fenderwells and underside of the body. The driverside heater channel was pretty much replaced.

Alot of work. A friend of mine did it, and there was hundreds of hours put into the bodywork. I still think I got a good deal for the effort that was put into it.

This was my first car, I got it when I was 15 and a half, so I couldn't fathom going with something else.

You only live once.

Andrew

nice looking
