Decided I would fix up the hot Rod a bit.....

Wanting to get ready for it's 100 yr birthday coming soon. Consentrated mainly on
front fenders and door bottoms. Had a body man do the serious work up to the primer and I did the painting. Looks a bit better I think, IMO
Before at the bodyshop



After in my garage



It was a lot of fun !!

It has no rust, the fenders were just "ruff" from old age. Steel aplenty. And BTW I used CAMO paint, green, light brown, and brown brown.
worked pretty good I think.

Very well done. Next time you take a picture of the whole car, post it up, if you happen to think about it!

That looks great. You pretty much nailed it.

(I forgot about the Warf Rat license plate. August West would be proud.)
