Thanks so much to you all for the support!!

QUOTE(Dion @ May 24 2022, 07:46 AM) *

Whoa! Antoine ! You weren’t hanging about. That’s getting it done.
Is that a base coat/ clear coat system then? Did you make a “booth”?
How did you control the “cloud” exhaust fans running?
Just curious how you did it in that very cool garage.
Happy you have colour on there! Looking great.
Cheers


Yes, I painted it with base coat/clear coat. Il did not really make a booth, just layed some cloths over the car to avoid too much dirt coming from the top of the old barn. And for the cloud..well, let's say that the barn isn't really waterproof.. all in all, turned out quite ok, not perfect but after polishing it will be a good "quality driver" paint-finish (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

And now the finishing touches:

Put the interior back (temporary, as GT door panels and some more surprises are coming..):

Very cool, great to see the transformation. Many of us are jealous

HB a shot or two of your ancient workshop?

Looking good! What exactly is the shade of orange? It seems a little more vivid than Signal Orange, which I always see as having more yellow in the highlights.
