Yea, Duplicolor spray cans ;D Nah, I'm not sure yet. Like I said a simple single stage something or other. I'll start doing a little research after the new year, I would like to paint it in the early spring.
There's a couple cool threads over on the HAMB about guys who painted their cars by brush. I don't think you could tell the difference.

I have a buddy who painted a 26 ford with $300.00 worth of rattle can paint. He said he bought all the Dupli-color black paint from all the auto parts stores and even called Dupli-color and told them what he was doing and they sent him a case of paint for free in exchange for pictures. Surprisingly enough it looked like it was done with a spray gun in a booth. He said he did it a panel at a time and black was black and put it on heavy and buff the hell out of it.

Thanks for the offer, Moose!!
How about one of these? Whichever is best for you. No rush, and if you can't get to it, no big deal. Thanks again.   Jim

Yes, there wasn't much wood left when I got the car. I took it all out and replaced it with, mostly, 1" square tubing. I got a lot of guideance and tips from guys like Moose, Ghost, Munch, TFoch. I'm glad I used the tubing, it is very sturdy and my wife let me buy a welder :)

Almost no wood framing, although the floor was all plywood with no subframe. The body was basically bolted to the frame. After I got the car home and dismantled it, this is what I sarted with.

You've put a lot of time into it, when I purchased my car there was three pieces left in it and I have removed them now. Like you I've put heavy wall sq. tubing in it's place.

OK Chopper here she is in yellow..I took some artistic liberty and added some tinted windows for effect. I would have had it done sooner but we lost power this around noon and it shut me down for over 3 hours. I think it looks super in yellow

Moose I'll tell you before Chopper can.  That looks great and I think Chopper will be impressed ;D
I like it, you had better keep your talents hid or you will be covered up with cars to do.

Moose, thanks very much, that looks INCREDIBLE!!! I think I am sold on yellow. It's just what I am looking for! I will probably leave the frame and firewall black, but now you made me want to tint the windows. Awesome, thanks very much, you are an artist!  Perfect! Let's break out the spray gun ;D ;D

Now that looks real nice ;D
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!
