Paint looks great!    Were you using 2B or Viper?

Thanks Jim.Its 2B Red.I almost went viper red,but after debating which way to go for over a week,I decided to keep it the original red.When he first did the inside,I didn't really like it that much,it looked way orangey,but he said the outside will look much better and more red.He was right it looks great,a nice red.Even he wasn't to sure,but he likes it also,he said the color is growing on him.I picked up both fenders tonight,I'll post a pic or two.

I love the look of fresh paint that's done well. Great looking fenders. The car should come out beautiful.              Ron

Picked one door today,headlight buckets,front filler panel,mirrors,gas door and all 4 corner bumper fillers.Going to assemble the headlight buckets tomorrow.Also finished rebuilding the trans yesterday and gave it a nice coat of alumablast paint and did some painting of the rad support brackets and hood latch bracket.He's going to spray the body on sat and he said it should be done tuesday so I'll get a couple days sooner jump on seperating the body when it gets to the shop on wed.Pics to come.
