Hi Guy!...long time no see. Glad to see that you got that baby back together and on the road...looks great buddy!

[Procharmo]

Nice extensive restoration. Totally documented and it looks real good on those Rallys. Did you paint it yourself. The finish looks professional.

Thanks Procharmo
Yes I did paint it myself. I got a $32 HVLP gun off Ebay. All the paint supplies came from my son-in-law that runs KC Autobody Supply. I have alittle painting experience from my old stock cars, but this is my first paint job on a street car with an HVLP gun. I am pretty happy with how she turned out. Still needs to be cut n buff over the winter.
The complete resto is documented over at Nastyz28.com. I did alot more then the pics I posted here, those were just a quick run thru. I think I changed just about every body panel except for the roof, cowl and firewall lol.
If anyone wants to see the complete build, here is the link. It is pretty long, so if ya check it out, I hope ya got a couple hrs lol.
