With this paint job it’s the application that’s the real killer. I can get a great deal on the paint in NY just 175.99 a pint.
I could get it cheaper if I went with non-PPG paint but PPG paint is what the factory used.

http://tuccihotrods.com/ Maybe?

Try to find Lenny Smith, I think he may be retired but I know his son is an excellent painter as well.
I would suggest my Dad, but his hand is currently disabled and the shop is a little messy.

Oh yeah, bump!

A bit of an update on the car.

The back end of the chassis had a bit of frame rust on it & the fuel inlet pipe had rust in it too.

So we set about fixing it before we final mounted the rear clip. These are the kinds of things that have to be fixed if you're gonna do things "right".

Some before pics......

It also looks like someone had the engine cradle out of the car before. Here you can see the "window" cut in the side of the frame rail so that they could get the right rear engine cradle bolt out.
