Finally got some pics of my project.

Can't wait to see it next year!!!!

Cameras do no justice to good paint. 2011 aqua blue metallic. Does not show the green pearl in it.

Is that going to be the outside color???? If so she's going to look great!!!

Yeah, that's what I finally decided on. Going with an off white roof. Decided against any custom color so touch up will be easy. This color is on the HHR and Camaro. In the shade and cloudy days, the green pearl really pops.

Very nice work and that blue is really cool.

Going to the booth this week! The Gravitex liner on the floor turned out sweet, It's gonna be underneath too.

Stu Looks great!!!!

Lookin' good Stu!

Can't wait to post pics that are in the gallery and not in a project post.

Looks real nice Stu. Can't waite to see the finished paint job

Stu, I see your starting to tape it off. Can't wait to see her when you get the new shin on her!!!

Dan

Hey all, thanks for the kind words. Dan I was taping off the side to play around with some kind of graphic to break up that big ass panel. I'd like to use the same off white that I used for the roof and am thinking of adding some pearl, maybe blue, green, or even violet. Then I gotta come up with a color for the outline stripe. I thought I was done obsessing with colors

I'm with ya Stu.... Been flip-flopping with the colors for my 66 panel for about 3 years! Getting close to having all the mechanical changes I've done so will have to decide on a color soon as well... Dig that blue you have on the inside!!!

Looking great

Thanks Mike. After the time and cash I have in mine so far, I can see how much you put in yours.

Dan, I went single stage of what will be on the exterior for the walls since they'll be covered but I had to put something. I do like this blue, it has a ton of blue and green pearl in it.

Lucky for me a lot of my friends own various kinds of automotive shops. The candy red paint job was quoted to me as $20,000.00+ by several painters then my friend did it for $5,000.00. The dragons and tru fire was quoted at $5,000.00 + by several air brush artists but another friend did it for $2000.00. The motor was quoted as $12,000.00+ but I got it for $3800.00 so I didn't have as much money in it as I would have had without friends.

Got a few pics of the color. Shitty day out so no sun.

Looking good.

Thanks Mike, I'm unsure about that white top though. Guess I'll wait till it's together to decide whether to paint it blue or leave it white.

Lookin' good Stu. I know what you mean about the top. I was too afraid to paint mine white!

Thanks Carl, how was the trip? Just got back from the body shop and under the floros, the top pops. It's a subtle pearl off white that cameras do no justice. This paint really moves. From one angle, the green pearl really bangs and then from another, the blue pearl comes out. It's factory paint but it's as close to a custom color without paying for custom. On the road by next weekend.

Trip went well, almost 1100 miles total pulling the camper. I'm sorting through pics now to post into my showcase. You should come down next Labor Day, the 10th anniversary of the Mid-South Econoline Meet!

I need to. I have relatives in Waco and Belton I need to see. Never too early to start the 2012 travel list. You sure have got yours running good to travel like that. How'd the air work out?

I am thinking about painting the top of my 65 white. I think it looks good that way

Hey Mike,

Geez, you have 2 projects going? I'm glad I did it now. It just has a touch of pearl and it's not bright white.
