Thanks' when I was 15 my dad and me fixed up a 1950 F1 that he bought from my uncle that had flipped the one he had just painted the color I am doing mine. The only thing that saved his from being totaled was it had a steel horse rack on it so the roof and fenders where flatten and that was all the damage. I hope mine turns out like it but with power steering and 289 engine and c4 tranny

The paint looks very good.
What type of paint did you use? Did you paint the entire inside, including the roof etc?
Did you have any problems getting paint in around all those angles?
If you painted the inside of the roof, how did you handle that with your gun?


Thanx
Kirk

Thank you, I went to a PPG paint supply house called single source and they mixed it in Acrylic Enamel A Mix. I only sprayed what will be seen after I do the interior. Some angles where hard to do with the HVLP gun like over the door area.
