Have you ever had a"How did I get here/What am I doing" moment?
There was a request for pictures, so you can see what I started with this morning with the base and lid both down to bare metal. The second is the lid, which actually turned out nice enough that I am going to run it as is. The base on the other hand is another matter. The bottom where you can not see looks great, the sides are okay, but could be better. The plus is I kind of figured out how to fix the wrinkle finish better, and may be able to just redo the sides. I'm not a perfectionist, but I want it percentable. On another note, in the end, I know why we do this. As mentioned , there is something about taking a car that doesn't run, or look the best, and breath new life into it. Also, I could have bought a new Challenger for what I am going to have in this one, but in no way is it a sexy to me as the original body style. I feel that way no matter if it is a A,B,C or E body, the new stuff just does not have the style of our old cars.
