    That body style has always been one of my favorites since my dad had one back in '60. Yours looks terrific. I love it and I know if my dad were alive he'd love it too. Keep the pix coming, can't wait to see it done.

    in the words of Richard Pryor, "...It's deep too!!!"

    The clear makes it pop.

    Can you or Kirk give some specifics on what the paints were that you used for each process (base, lace, candy, clear)? Is the flake only in the base? Is the lace the same color as the candy that was used for the fades, and then later to darken the panels?

    I can't get over how cool this car looks. Nice work!

    Damn Alex,
    that bitch is a beauty. I just wished you would have spent a little more time on the paint.
     
  20. Question............With all those coats, did you guys allow for the thickness of the paint in the gaps? I know the edges dont have the buildup of the laced areas but am just curious.

    OK, I finally found a computer over here in New Zealand just to check out Alex's post. FUCKING AWESOME!!

    I've been telling everyone over here that I'm not going home. I guess I have to now!

    I've run into a couple of HAMBers over here and I'm having a blast!


    Thanks for the update Alex!!!
