I would love to do that. I think the seagul grey and white would kick. I also like the 62 red like a fire engine as a single color or the 67 era ruby red and white. It's not my choice on the color I know it will look great in any new color it goes. Its like painting a wall in your house you can allways go back and paint it again.

Pictures really do hold a 1000 words. I just get blown away when I look back at where it all started. I just delivered the bus back to its owner he is going to strip the interior and prep it for paint. I have a few more things to work out that I noticed after I primed it but its the name of the game. I still have to finish the rocker but I wanted to get the body back in primer.

I am using a 5 horse 2 stage compressor single phase. If I were to buy another one I would buy a 7.5 with a 80+ gallon tank. A five hores is plenty but I like the over kill. With just me working mine is fine but if I get 2 lines going it really takes a lot of the punch out of the tools.

Nice looking work Mitch. I am looking forward to getting started on my 58 I got from you. Still waiting on getting my garage built. What size of compressor you running for all your tools and what not ?

Wow, very nice! Can't wait to see it with paint. Just my .02, but I would go with a stock color(s).

Great to see metal work done right. With these cars shoddy repairs from the past are so common to see, its great to see stuff like this.

I charge 45.00 an hour and you buy materials. For anything you want done from minor dents to front clips, wheel wells, corners, rockers, panel replacement, rust repair, paint. I can sand blast bodies flip them on a rotisery. I can do just about any thing you want done. Just shoot me an E-mail.

Looks really good. Reminds me of the 2 years of restoring my 65. I like your color scheme idea.
