Gotta love fresh paint! I can't wait to see it in sunlight.
But go ahead and drop a wrench on it! LOL! You know you're gonna do it anyway, so might as well get it over with. :laugh:

Jack, I'll take more photos after its buffed...I had Jerri stand 6 feet away from it this morning & you could see her clearly in the rear quarter!
It has about 6 coats of Tartan Red on it - wet sanded between most of them...then has 3 or 4 coats of clear - wet sanded between each of them.....been way too long getting to this point!
& I still don't think its perfect! I'm very happy but don't know if all that extra effort was worth the wait!
&, John, they don't want it out in the sun until its buffed & waxed....tomorrow when they bring it home, I'll try to take photos of it on the dolly & trailer before we move it into the GarageMahal onto jack stands.

It is with regret I resign from this site, you guys just don't play fair

That is a serious paint job, are you sure you want to put an engine and wheels on that paint job? My odd rust spot hidden away is making me feel guilty, I think I'll just talk to those people on this site who drive their cars)
Awesome, can't wait to see the progress.

Tony,
Thats the same color I want my 63. Is it the color for that year or are you breaking away from tradition.
I'll have an order for an engine rebuild as soon as I hear from the machine shop.
I want to see more as you go.
