I finished up painting the visor and cowl vent and installed them today. I decided to try painting the running boards with the supposed red color, it's a base coat clear coat and it came out with a lot of orange and way to shiney. I was gonna use this on the fenders, splash aprons,and boards and it's REALLY not the look I was shooting for. I think I am gonna go back to a charcoal grey single stage paint color with a lot of flake for the lower parts it should keep both colors with the same sheen.

I agree. If it's not all going to be the same color then the darker charcoal would be classy. The body looks great.

I think the charcoal is a good choice, Ghost. That orange almost looks like primer.

I agree the charcoal would look great and the orange not so much.

I think so too.
Today was supposed to be a relax day, yeah right. I couldn't just sit around, I will do that when I get really old. I used my gantry crane and rigged up a safe way for me and the buick, to lift the body and put it back on the chassis. I have to modify only one body mount hole in the floor pan otherwise there back together, and I'm smiling.
