I did it some in my late teens. In barns no less in true hillbilly style. Then 5 years ago I gathered what i needed. Compressor with proper CFM rating. Monster air storage tank. Good guns and hoses water trap etc etc. LOL I even refused a house and got this one because it had the big garage. I just knew somehow. You grow up but really you never change. I can't afford to have it done. It expensive enough just buying supplies. I knew this car was finally coming along. Frame finished rebuilt the front and rear end. Metal work done then the long journey doing the bodywork. Most of the time i was working only on the weekends if i had time. Building houses and remodeling houses took all my time. Like building part of mom's house last summer. Now I am semi-retired and got the time to do more. I wanted this car bad enough to build it from scratch. I sure can't afford one. So I had to get with the program. I grew up as a kid watching Jim Garrard paint cars. He did cars for shows. I am not a pro but i seen it done and know what should be happening. I do the best I can. I am not the best. But i don't suck like i used to either. This has been a dream to do this since i was a teen. I had 20 chevelles back then when they were cheap. But i just dealt with what I had and made them look as best I could. Then they got to expensive and I gave up on them. Got a bike a while. Then I saw my car my color with a big block. I had to have another one. I paid way to much for this rust heap and I been trying to make a decent car out of it every since. I look at it and it gives me shivers knowing what I done and it getting so close to the day I can fire it up and drive it. This is the last thing i painted if it turns out as well I be pleased. I never even buffed it out. This one is definitely getting sanded and buffed.
