Coming to the end of the project on the 74. Every fastener on this car has been touched. Replaced all the hardware store fasteners with repos. All painted (in a dirty garage) cut, buffed and going back together. Still have interior and exhaust to do. Will probably repaint later as I am not completely happy with the way it turned out. She is just a driver so okay for now.
Looks nice. I did my own paint on a 64 Vette and it came out okay. Like you, I'll repaint it someday but there is a lot to be said for a driver quality paint job where you don't have to fret over door dings or rock chips. And that's $5-10k you can spend elsewhere.
Are you going to add a vinyl top? I normally don't care for white but when they are accented with a black top, stripes and interior, they definitely start catching my eye.
"Slow progress" is better than NO PROGRESS :drinkingbud:
Thanks... agreed a low stress paint job is a good thing. I won't be adding a vinyl top but will put the 70 hockey stripe with the 440 callout on the quarters.
A thorough cut and buff will go a long way to making an average paint job into a show stopper. Providing you have enough clear coat applied. Don't settle yet.
Looking sharp , paint is tough on a good day :bigthumb:
Looking good. Now keep on it so you can go enjoy it. :bradsthumb:
It's looking nice! Great job. :clapping:
That looks awesome! I hope the slots are staying.
Looks really clean without the side markers. But isn't that verboten?
Looks great, I'm liking the Slots as well. :ohyeah:
Very nice.
Any level of "good enough" that has you to wanting to have it out on the road is good.

Enjoy.
