Top shelf build very nice work!!

I can never understand how any shop can start a build with out making sure the frame and body shell are not straight before any metal replacement starts.

Thanks for posting

Nope all done by me except the rebuilding of the motor and transmission. I leave that up to the machine shop and engine builder. I'm a one man show!

I spent most of the day blocking the car out with 320. All looks good, 1 more coat of high build will cover the couple spots I sanded through into the high build. Then a final wet sad with 600 grit will have all the exterior panels ready for paint. Once wet sanded everything will be disassembled for paint.

Blue exterior, white top, and blue guts. Owner wants a newer color blue with pearl. The gallon of PPG BC is 1400 dollars. I posted a card of it earlier in the post. Pretty sure he is going to go with black interior not blue. Although the motor and trans are original to the car they will not be built to factory specifications. He is modifying the motor a lot, aluminum heads intake cam etc.

I picked up my painting supplies yesterday. Just for color and clear for this car the bill came to 2180.00 that's with a discount on PPG. Now this isn't cheap color as the owner wanted a color with pearl in it. The blue he picked is called Heavenly Blue and the retail cost of the gallon was 1850.00 which to me is just crazy. He feels at this point what's another couple hundred dollars to get what he wants. Paint and clear have been averaging 1200-1500 for the last couple of cars I painted but it just seems materials for restorations are just way out of hand. This is why paint jobs are going for 10-20k depending on the level of work that is needed. Just crazy!

That is crazy.
I remember a few crying about how they had to pay 5K for their stock paint jobs @Vettefest in the early 90's.

I looked up PPG Heavenly Blue and that color is stunning. Cannot wait to see how it looks when you're done.
