Looks great.  I love Racing Green!  Congrats on what must have seemed like forever to get this far.

Well, I just realized that I bought the car 6 years ago last week...

Kent said “oh, tease me!” When I showed him a pic of the wet coat.

Then I sent him this:

Here’s some of the warts. The base coat was beautiful and flat. The clear was hard to judge as I was spraying blind due to the heavy fog created by the spray. Working blind almost at times and never enough light. These will all be sanded out as I layed on tons of clear.

Now some beauty shots! The clear is glass in a lot of places and there is a little orange peel on vertical places like the fenders.
