Is the paint dry yet? Whats happening to that gorgeous project.

I'm in desperate need of a "Resto mod fix".

So stoked to see the finished product! That paint job is flawless! And you chose black... the best looking but hardest color to lay down flat! Amazing.

Well I must say running the restoration shop has been sucking up a lot more of my time than I would like LOL!

Back to the '77, we had a small issue with the one door so that has now been repaired and waiting for paint. I still have to prep the skirts and bumper fillers so when they are ready I will put into the booth to make all shiny shine :)

Have to replace the steering wheel and trim. Had to use the original column (red) as the electrical connections are different from 75 to 77.
