Who's doing your paint?

Great car. I'm in the planning stages of building a 73 coupe. It will be similar to what you have in mind.

the cars back home from paint. It was done by a friend of a friend in his shop in his back yard. He did a great job I was a little skeptical at first I know kinda scary but we had seen some other cars he did prior. He can really get down with a spray gun, the body fits great still has to be wet sanded and polished but I will do that. I learn at the shop i used to work at you dont need an encridible booth to get nice paint but it does help

Looks great to me. I like that color combo.

There's a couple of guys in the ATL area that do NCRS work in their basements. The guy that used to do custom painting for me had a extremely dirty booth but his work was fantastic. I learned a while back that you judge the final product and not the method. It would be like someone telling Da Vinci he needs to clean his studio in order to make the Mona Lisa correctly.
