Grant, I have my eye on a 70 Roadrunner with the grabber hood. Guy has been after me for a couple years to take it off his hands. Thinking very hard about it.
Just got back home on a long day. Valiant is completely painted. Going to start putting it back together next week. Will sand and buff the clear coat in a couple of weeks.
The preparation.

The process: applying the base coat. It almost looks like 2 different colors but it is the lighting. Had a hard time getting the base to lay down on the horizontal surfaces. Had to add some color blending.

Nice job...looking great! Great pictures!!!
Thanks Toad. I had this posted under a new thread so the guys who were waiting to see them could but it seems that one of the moderators deemed it necessary to put it where they wanted instead of where I wanted it.
beautirus!!!!
Looks very nice. I'll bet you're very excited. tmm
I am very excited that part of the job is done. Can now focus on putting the parts back on and getting it done.
