65 GTO

Looking really good! I will take her off of your hands if you want me to...😉

Have runs to fix, some other things to do. I should have pulled the fender from the LeMans and used it rather than fix this one since it needs more work, but all in all it came out ok. Just a driver, not a show car, looks good from 10ft or more, but the hood looks really nice. I'll be seeing the hood more often than the rest of it.

Yeah, smaller furry non dogs are tasty tennis ball like snacks to them.

More pics tomorrow in the sunlight, these were quick shots after the fumes cleared a bit.



A bit more peel on the doors, a few runs I need to fix, and a dent that popped up outta the
blue.

It's more fun when I don't have to rework a bunch of it. After a long day of making a yellow car blue, it became horribly apparent that there were some dents being hidden by the yellow that somehow were not discovered while sanding with a long board. How the hell I missed them is beyond me, but the medium blue color brings them out wonderfully.

I know what you're saying , the Cougar was in black primer and looked good .Then I sprayed on grey poly-surfacer and bang bang there they were .

Not sure I will make it, nowhere to keep my dogs, and I have no place to stay while I am there. Lots of logistics issues regardless if I get it done in time, which I know I can. I want to make the trip, but unless something changes I will have to sleep in the truck with the dogs while I am there.

I have a spare room but I think your dogs would kill my cat.

Looking forward to seeing it at Tour Nebraska!!

Shot primer today, it was finally warm enough for epoxy to activate. The hood gives me wood.




Didn't want to run out of masking paper, so I used some of the packing stuff that came with the parts for V-ron's Cutlass. She is stoked about getting the 65 painted and drivable, and later this year I can start on her car. She is definitely a fun one.

much anticipated results are worth the wait!
