After what seems like an eternity the 68 finally has some color on it. I had a difficult time choosing, but in the end triple black won out.  :icon_smile_big:

The car started out as a rust free desert car but there were some old dents that had to be massaged out and a lot of fill was removed....my body guy said that the car should be about 20lbs lighter.  :lol:

The car got a lot of attention while at his shop with numerous offers to buy....one guy asked 5 times !  :o

All total he had 115 hrs into this paint & bodywork and did a fantastic job....the car looks killer.  :2thumbs:

Now the fun begins....putting it back together. I sure hope i can remember where everything goes.....

Looks great Ron.  You know, you're so busy helping all of us, I sometimes forget that you have your own projects.  Where the hell do you find the time?

I agree and the red strips looks awesome.

The body lines look perfect.  The paint looks awesome.

Time to make some room for her in the Garage. :cheers:

Man that looks nice. It's glowing. The stripe looks orange on my monitor. Red or Orange, it works either way.  :2thumbs:

I can't wait for the final product. You and Troy know how much I love those 68's.  ;)

Beautiful!

Looking at that, I'm thinking I have to haul my car back up to your neck of the woods to get it painted..

Thanks guys.....i appreciate the positive comments.  ;)

The wheels will be gonzo !  :lol:

The stripe is definately Red ! This car is like the exact opposite of Dan's car which i just luv. My 70 will be red with black stripes....just like 8 Wheeler's.  :icon_smile_cool:

Brian (1 hot 68) pointed out that there's too much flat black on the tail panel...that will be fixed. Thanks for pointing that out Brian.   :yesnod:


Special thanks for member and good buddy Kevin (Blown68) for helping with the transport and loading of the beast.  :2thumbs:

Did anyone expect anything less than a perfect body and paint?? I think I'm going to be trailering my 65' a long ways to get her painted when the time comes..

She's nothing less than perfect Ron.  :drool5: :drool5: :drool5:   Now I realllly wish I had more time up home (AND A PASSPORT).. Maybe I'll grab my buddy Gary's boat and make a run for it.. Hahaha....
