    Very nice, great clear reflection on the black :thumbs2: She is going to be beatiful when you are done.

    Bet your glad you decided to paint it that color instead of original

    Is there anything prettier than well laid down fresh paint?? It just looks so clean,crisp and smooth. Like a nice shiny candy. :thumbs2:

    I used a bunch of original comet brouchers and magazine articals printed from 1971 to know where the lines should go.
