This is really cool. Thanks Gene, and everyone for posting so many pictures.

 

Thank's Kev Gene will be smiling big

 

This build is simply amazing.

 

She's Nassau Blue once again!

 

This is cool beyond belief! Literally gives me chills!

 

Copy that!

 

I am so happy for Gene,,I know he is on cloud nine today,seeing the car wearing that beautiful blue paint again is exciting!

Thanks for posting the photos John. HRP

 

To Chris and all the other guys that have been bustin' their asses. Well done, she looks great!! I wish I could see Gene's face when he sees the paint job.

 

If the ones Kevin have don't work out I have a set of 4 but they are the older chrome plated plastic type.

BTW,I thought he had them on the rear also,,but the old gray mater ain't what is use to be. HRP

 

Here's a pic with caps front and rear.

 

Thanks Frank,,you just proved I haven't totally lost my memory,,I just have selective memory! HRP

 

I don't depend on my memory 'cause I have a bad case of CRS. Pictures help a lot.

 

Clear is on.

 

WOW ,,Chris isn't letting any grass glow under his feet,,,Beautiful,but that;s what we have come to expect from Chris. HRP

 

You guys are making magic happen!!! Great job!!!!

 

Holy Cow !
The car looks amazing!
You guys are THE BEST !
I'm just amazed on how quickly you can do body work and paint.
It looks stunning.

Has Gene seen it yet in person???

Gene was here today and saw it in basecoat, I think he left before Chris started spraying the clear. I was busy prepping the frame and rear suspension parts so I'm not sure exactly when he left or if he saw it with clear on it.

 

Just curious... what Brands did you use for primers, base coat and clear?

 

Everything was PPG except for the Slicksand primer. Used DP40lf epoxy, Slicksand, PPG K38 high build, can't remember the basecoat (DBC?), and 2021 clear.

 

Just my luck I'm in Tulsa Ok racing and not going to get to see the paint until I get home.Gene sent me pic then I looked on here and seen more High 5s to Chris Harper for the long hours in the body shop . ~Quain~

 

Wow, paint looks great.

 

Holy smokes that paint looks great ! Man and you guys work fast too, makes me much embarrassed about my Henry J stuff for sure.

 

Man that thing looks great. I'm sure it looks better in person. Great Job

 

You can not believe how smooth and shiny this paint job is, its flawless
Thanks to Chris Harper and everyone else who did sanding and prep.

Gene,

 

Paint looks amazing, wow

 

Absolutely beautiful, Killer work guys can't wait to get a good look in person.

 

I respect that so much, Gene doing his own engine work again. I'm betting it felt real good to get back out in the shop.

 

Wow, what a thread!The guys who drove those wild Willy's coupes were my dragstrip hero's back in the sixties and early seventies. Nothing looked badder than those cars.My first time trial trip down the strip in a lumbering stocker was opposite a wheelstanding A/G '41 Willys.He lit the win light when I was still at half track.Checked the shifter to make sure it wasn't in neutral or reverse when he took off .... lol !!Godspeed to Gene and all you great fella's bringing the dreams and Moonlighter back to life.
Steve,

 

wow, the Moonlighter looks awesome!!! great paint job!

 

That paint is awesome. Congrats.
