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.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

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

I think so too.   ;D  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.

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!
