After 4 long years (and $12K) it's nearly complete.  Media blast/primer was $2200, addtl body work was $2500, and paint $3500; plus $1800 in labor.

Whether or not I'm good at English is inimportant!

Wow  :o Looks great!  Congratulations. :boogie:
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Nice - whatcha got next to it? It looks like an early 70s Camaro that is worn down like a used bar of soap.

Here's the before photo.  I found it in the middle of a field in Bakersfield, CA (complete with bird nests under the hood, and hay in the trunk)

First shot looks sublime, second shot looks like Citron Yella. Which is it closer to? I thought limelight was the same as sublime...   :icon_smile_question: Very nice job nonetheless!
