    Its been a long trip and I needed some help along the way, but the end is in sight. Just got the ole 76 back from the paint shop and couldn't wait to show you guys. Attached are the before and after shots. Special thanks to Craig for the parts and to the rest of you guys for all the advise and information.

    What is all that brown stuff behind the wheels?
    Get out there with a bucket of suds and a water
    hose and get that dirt off of the new paint.

    I can't believe that you would post a pic of a dirty
    car for us to see.



    Just yankin your chain!

    I like the color and the stripes. Can you post a closeup
    pic of the stripes?

    hey there, the paint looks great. nice job!! i do have a gripe though, as you stole my thunder with the stripe job. i am also building a 4 dr and was trying to be the first on this site with the two tone paint. mine is ford green metallic with the rear valence and the raised portion on the hood going to be gloss black. oh well second isn't to bad. we will have the sharpest 4dr's around. good luckwith it. if you want to keep in touch you can respond to this and i will send you my email :D
