I was laughing at the 3 layers.. I had to have my hood repainted because of a crack we found.. the first was primer and 10 coats of paint & clear... this repaint was primer in the damaged section and 10 MORE coats..

after all that, 30 yrs from now someone might think its 4 coats.. :eek:

Good work and keep us posted, always great to see another 56 F100 being redone so nicely!

Few more things, and the frame is going to the paintshop.
The wheels are in great shape too

You are going to sway me away from a 302 into a 390 in my 56.
Be sure to keep these pictures coming! :)
