Thats cool good 4 U What does it consist of? like a Q&A session or something?

Thanks again guys for the replies & lettin me know what ya think. Oh & the fact the replies are positive is a plus LOL. The doors are cleared now, not wet sanded but wanted to share a few pix....

clear coat not applied in these shots as I had to leave b4 it was done...

OK its time for the DOOR PRIZE..lol. Did the doors today & they are lookin nice. I again dont have the clear pics yet but they will soon follow.

Brian, Thank you but rest assured it's gonna be driven like crazy. I want to make this lil 318 be a reliable driver. It will be nice but I am not gonna cry over dead bugs on the windshield thats for sure. The car wont be a replica of a particular Lee either, cause that to me, leaves alot of room for people to start with the "well thats not right" or " That's incorrect" I dont like people like that. I like the old addage If ya cant say something nice then dont say nuttin at all. I want to personally thank you all for taking the time to compliment my car & the work that has gone into it. I know that Capt Redneck awaits it like the next issue of Hot Rod LOL & Mary Anne, Roger Julie & Brian have been following it also thanks to you & Meadow mufn and Dukefan too and for anyone else I 4got for keping up with this thread & hanging in there with me as time keeps draggin on with this project! I am really happy I decided to make this happen. This is NOT the end of the pix & updates no no there is plenty more work to do & there will be plenty more pix to follow that work! YEE HAW!

Thanks ya'll. It has been a LONG road but I can see the light with this paint thing! Here are a few shots of the car with the clear coat applied to the roof flag. Remember it still will need to be wet sanded & then buffed & then polished so it will really shine!

So I went & got that pauint like I mentioned & we got started EARLY Saturday morning & this was our outcome: Enjoy the following! YEE HAW! (all shots are b4 the clear coat is added so he will shine like a new penny then)

Thanks again. I will say it every time I really enjoy sharing the photosd of the progress. Its cool to see the replies & suggestions & hear the ideas too. I went & got the paint for the roof today Red, White & The Blue & I also bougt the black for the doors & the rear panel. I am starting the roof flag tomm. Pix to follow as always. Tom

I am gettin closer!

yea ya know what I dont have email notification eiter now that ya mention it?! Any help ?

The windshield was replaced, so the chrome was not only taken off, but it's still not on the car, look closely at the pix. Rear window is still out & all rear trim is still off & rear window still out of the car. The lower side rear window trim was left right where it was & taped up just right. Did not want to dis-assemble that anymore than I already had & it came out perfect no traces of the old paint.

Thank you to all of you tha thave folloed this thread this far. I am going to keep on going with it til I am satisfied with the car if thats ok with you?" LOL. Comments and questions are always welcome ask away. Tom Sorry I just cannot stop smiling!
