Painted mine with Hammerite. It's good looking and very durable!

I prepped both quarter panels for installation. I had to sandblast some of the remaining paint off.
I only managed to get photos of the passenger side because it was so cold out today the air line was freezing up.By the time I had them finished I had forgot to get
photos of the drivers side.
Ill post more next week when I install them

Nice when it all goes back together with either new or repainted parts! Barely get dirty assembling it all at that point!

I got my new firewall all strengthened up. I haven’t decided how I’m going to modify it for big distributors yet.

Looking great! It's nice to see a muscle car being restored rather than crushed. I would like to shake your hand!
