update

Hi everyone .
I haven't been on here in quite awhile so I thought I would drop in and say hello . The effie is starting to see paint (finally) . I chose to go with a Blue/ Silver two tone base coat clear coat combo. The cab is done along with the inner fenders and air deflectors . I'm hoping to get paint on the rest of the remaining sheetmetal so I can start to assemble the ole gal . It's been a long slow process because I have to work on it in my spare time ( I'm sure you know how that goes ??) I will try to get some pictures in the gallery if I can remember how to do it . Until then , everyone have a safe and healthy new year .

I just added a couple of pictures to my gallery . I wish the pictures were better because they really don't show the colors that well . As I wrote in the last message they are blue/ silver combo with a fine metal flake mixed into the clear . Inside the metal flake is not really noticeable until you get up close but when it's outside in the daylight the paint really explodes with color . It reminds me of a fourth of july fireworks display. I know it may not be to everyones liking but it looks cool
