J Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 that funny you posted this! I stumbled out of bed this morning to check my email and looked at your previous post and i wondered "I wonder if that car is painted yet?" lol Lose the trailer hitch and you've got a BAD ASS PAINT JOB! Quote
5speedz34 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 I'm not trying to be a dick, and I don't know everything about paint jobs, but how come in those 2 pictures there is orange peel? Does it need to be wet sanded, or was it not finished yet (in those pics)? Quote
ManicMechanic Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 Does it need to be wet sanded, or was it not finished yet (in those pics)? Definitely, it just came out of the paint booth, the paint has to cure. Quote
hotrodolds Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Posted February 23, 2008 We aren't planning on wet sanding or buffing this thing at all. It's gonna sit all weekend, and then Monday or Tuesday night, I'll put the parts back on it. Quote
J Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 it'll still look much better than stock Quote
hotrodolds Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Posted February 23, 2008 Oh, yeah. The original paint was just bad. Real bad. It COULD have been fixed, but this was quicker AND cheaper. Quote
Euro Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 That is hot. At first I was like bullshit it's still blue!!!!!!!!!!!! I like how it kind of changes blue/gray/silver in the different lights. What color is this? Quote
GP1138 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 Uh... wow. How did I miss this car??? Quote
IRONDOG442 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 love the car hate the hitch Quote

hotrodolds Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Posted February 23, 2008 I prefer the four door body of most anything. Just this particular car, I prefer the coupe nose. Quote
intern8tion9l Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 lookin good, love the conversion. i would have like to see you attempt the coupe rear too, but that would have been a lot loose the hitch x2342354354 Quote
IRONDOG442 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 How have I noticed that he has a coupe nose ??!?!?! Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 How have I noticed that he has a coupe nose ??!?!?! You looked at a picture? Quote
K@m3l0t Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Nice paint job! I like it like everyone : LOOSSEEE THE ITCHH!!!!! Quote
DOHCRagtopguy Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 That's a real nice job! Great pics. Quote
Grand Moff Joseph Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 What color are you using? Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 I can tell the fenders still don't line up quite right, but how much work did it take to get it to line up as well as it does? Also, how come you didn't paint it with the cladding off of it? Is it better not to take them off? (Holy crap, DOHCRagtopguy, who's that in your latest avatar?!?! ) Quote
