It'll look sharp when it's finished- what color will it be? Once it's done are you going to drive or flip it?
No flip. Keeper. Was at Vintage the other day. Their prices are going up Jan 1. With a 120 orders in the que.
Color not decided upon yet. Between two.
Good work Larry! Carry on.
Yes and the fact that you can do it allows you to get great value on a rebuild.

Gawd I wish I could do bodywork! It's my Kryptonite.
thanks for the words. It only took 9 restorations over a few decades to get there.....
Making misstakes you don't say 
... It does take time to get good at anything.
Some mistakes for certain, but more like with each resto I try to do something I have not done much of in past ones. For example when I did a '54 Chevy Pickup street rod I learned with much study how to do lighter bodywork and then paint.
With this one doing the aluminum based tonneau which is a 3D curved piece so not easy.
MEtal fabricating is a real art
Polyester Contour Primer going on this weekend.
Take off the windshield. Trust me.
Finished painting here so now the start of the interior. Then replacement of wheels and tires to black/nipple/whitewall. No good job goes unpunished.....
Wait - I actually like the black EMPI Rivieras with spinners!
They'll be for sale soon.
nice work on the paint.
