[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16615348, member: 70025"] Gentlemen, we have reach the top of the summit on this project. Words cannot express how happy I am with the results. This turned out AMAZING in my opinion. This makes all those hours of metal work, fabricating, body work and sanding SO worth it!!!!! Yes, there is some trash in the paint. But, remember this was done in my garage, not a paint booth. I did put plastic around the walls, wet the floor and I used 3 box fans as exhaust fans to pull the fumes and dust in the air out. I think it came out great considering the environment. Next will be wet sanding and buffing. HELL YES!!!! I can't take my eyes off it LMAO. [ATTACH=full]1701925[/ATTACH] Here you can see some orange peel in the firewall reflection. Also, you can see the firewall and fender apron areas I mentioned earlier. My body guy brought over some seam sealer and put it in these areas. It really filled the gaps nicely and will remain flexible so it will not crack. [ATTACH=full]1701926[/ATTACH] Making sure all areas have coverage. [ATTACH=full]1701927[/ATTACH] Again, you can see orange peel in the panel. This will all be taken care of in the buffing process. [ATTACH=full]1701928[/ATTACH] I clear coated the cowl and tops of the fender apron areas. So, again, I do have some spray work invested into this LOL. [ATTACH=full]1701929[/ATTACH] Think I did pretty good on the cowl :D. [ATTACH=full]1701930[/ATTACH] Man, I still can't believe how good this looks. [ATTACH=full]1701931[/ATTACH] The area in white will be hit with Raptor liner. [ATTACH=full]1701932[/ATTACH] Here you can see the A-pillar. Bottom is new paint/clear and top is old. Believe me, you cannot see a difference even looking at it with my eye and with sunlight on it. Once I sand and buff this you'll never know. [ATTACH=full]1701933[/ATTACH] Here you can seen the blending into the rocker panel. This will be worked a little more once I have my fenders on and have the G.T. 347 removed and the G.T. 427 added, but it looks great so far. [ATTACH=full]1701934[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
