I started using Sikkens water based paint in the late 90's.  I love everything about it but have seen a few really bad results when people sanded through the primer and shot the base over bare metal like on an edge of a fender.  Before you know it it'll be rusting through the new paint job.  You had to make sure everything was covered in primer.  I'm sure they have perfected these by now.  Glasurit was actually my favorite water base.

Man do I miss body work...    :'(

If you really miss it that much I have some that I will let you do!!  (you knew someone would say this, didn't you?  :lol:

Very nice as usual Brian !  :2thumbs:

Colomn shift car ?

I like the Fenderwell headers....hopefully they'll get a ceramic coating to keep them looking pretty and keep things cool underhood.  :coolgleamA: My one concern with fenderwell headers on a street car is the close proximity to the master cylinder.

Thanks Mike!

Here are some more pics.Not a lot of progress lately,waiting for parts.....

The seat backs are the new plastic ones with matching white vinyl covering.

The seat tracks are painted ultra shiney to A-Rons ,minds eyes ,likeing....

The interior is close to being ready to just slip together....As soon as the Pg classics upper door pads are here. Then I will take a break until the engine s done. In the mean time my minds eye sees a Hemi going into the engine compartment my f8 69 R/t.
