There should be a national let your kid play in your muscle car day. When I was that age I could just sit in the driver seat for hours.

Looks very nice (Borat voice LOL)!!! How did you prep the paint booth/garage to keep it clean??
I second the "national let your kid play in your muscle car day":

vsefiream;
thanks, I swept it out and then hosed it out, thats about it. Its not the best environment to paint in but it works.

lol yeah its going to be lowered once all the bugs are worked out of it. Its just high right now so its easy to crawl under to work on.

I like how you cleaned up all of the body lines in the back. I did the same along with the bottom rocker/quarter. That is some huge metal flake with no modeling. Great job on spraying the paint. Like mentioned before what are you doing for a gas filler tube? Any idea why the whole is in the rear panel where the license plate goes?

[68400BIRD]

I assume your painting the rear bumper body color also? What about the window trim? Curious minds want to know. LOL

[70TWO NOVA]

Thanks. The metallic laid out pretty nicely. I agree it looks much better without all the rear body seams. I know the owner plans on having the gas filler neck flush mounted in the trunk and yes, the rear bumper will be painted body color but im not sure about the window trim yet.

I am planning on leaving the trim chrome for now. I put the front windshield moldings on and they look great. Should have the door on tomorrow and I will post some pics of the car.
