that is one nice paint job. i really like the color on bugeyes. my first car, a 63 VW beetle, was this color so maybe there's a bias. looks super!
 
Thanks Guys, sorry no website.

I bought my first house last November and that has been taking up my time. The paint job was done by me over 20yrs ago in lacquer, and funds available I am hoping to repaint in the spring.

BTW, it took me along time to find a hard top in the late 80's, but now they seem to be popping up more frequently on Ebay. Mine was refinished by a Vette expert.
 
You guys, do what makes you happy. But no painted shocks please.
 
In the 70's I had a TR 4 that I had painted an Emron metalflake light blue and I found an original white hardtop. The top was rounded and really in great shape. The car always looked great and was always a source of a lot of compiments. Your car looks great.
 
I had a bugeye painted in Emron as well. Finaly rusted from the inside but the paint looked great.
