Wow!. I'm starting to feel pretty good about the way things are going. I actually had some nice days weather-wise, and was able to get some painting done. I have tons of pictures of the whole process, but a few will show you what I went through! First is the front wearing its primer.

Here's a picture showing the front half of the car "in process"...

�And one of how it turned out. I'm happy with it, but it has many flaws that you wouldn't have with a real, professional paintjob. The hood, which I thought looked OK, actually looks pretty shabby when I installed it, and sometime I may end up painting it again.

Here's the car with all the masking over the previously-painted front and roof, ready to spray the back half gold.

I also took the opportunity to pull the gas tank, have it cleaned and sealed, and I then re-installed it. Here's how it looks under the car.

Just this morning (September 4th) I painted the rear half of the car, including all the door jambs and nooks and crannies. It will need some serious rubbing out, but I hope it will be decent. Now all I have yet to paint is the lower color sweep!

Thanks for looking at the pictures. I'll keep posting them as progress continues.
