Default Viper Red 1965 Fastback

I thought I would give you an update on the Viper Red 65 Fastback that we finished in 2007. Saturday was the Mustang Club of Tampa's 29th annual car show. We had 272 cars and Paul's 65 Fastback was the Sponsors pick for best of show. He also got a trophy for best in class. After three years the SPI Viper Red with 6 coats of universal clear still looks wet.

This is what we started with



A few surprises under the old paint









The end caps we bonded to the quarter



After a lot of block sanding and priming



After wet sanding and buffing



This is the finished product









347 engine

It looks great. I like what you did bonding the rear quarter ends.
