Can't believe no one replied.

Looks like a great place to work. You need to share some pics with us when its done.

I was gonna say "Looks good for a dipshit" but bit my tongue (til now)

Well I think it looks great despite the fact that it has lived the past several years of it's life as "the village bicycle"! Way to go DipShit!

I LIKE IT...

Good job, looks great.
Keep it up. I wanna see top coat photo's too.
(nice photo's John)

p.s. John, I finally just about have your rear suspension cups ready to return to you.. I'll clean them up and paint em pretty before I send them in a few weeks...

Looks great! You keeping it the stock color?

L20E! Woo Hoo!

Post the rest I love that color own two of them! Can't wait for the rest and it looks great, really nice masking too

Is this the car with the droopy headliner, that I froze my butt off in several years ago?

Looks way better now.

What I want to know is how they get those doors and hoods to levitate like that. Pretty "Star Trek" if you ask me.......

Same car! At least when I towed you there was a windshield and top. When I towed Mark up to the hangar the other night it was ~45 degrees and raining!

Color's going on today!

John and Dipshit? (sorry what name should I use)

I wanna see more pictures with top coat..
don't keep us in the dark too long..

lookin good

I'm sure John will get better photos tonight of the finished top coat, but here's more great pumkin progress.

Eric henning is the painter. My old Employee from Cheyenne Airmotive - he's the shit!

The Great Pumpkin could quite possibly be the last thing painted in this aircraft booth - sad, so sad!

Had a little "fish eye" on the left rear quarter that we will have to fix. Silicone is EVIL!

trim gets painted black Sunday, will post more as it goes together. Hey Dennis, she WAS worth it. So far less than a grand in her.

one more for now

Awesome photos. A paint job is always kind of an "instant gratification" kind of thing. It looks incredibly different so quickly!!!

Looks great! Keep us posted on the progress of reassembly. I'm doing the same process right now!

Less than a grand for a good looking car, sounds good to me!

But the first time I was in it I was thinking "parts car". I was freezing my ass off though, so that might have influenced me.

You two enjoy a when the paint is done.

Dipshit - The Proud Owner.

LOOKS GREAT.

Will post more as she goes back together

Then again, maybe I am just a "Dipshit"!

Beautiful! Signal Orange rocks. That thing will light up the dreariest winter day. Imagine it with a nice set of polished Fuchs. Great job.

Looks very nice!

wow...

good job
looks great

No, you rescued one and made it beautiful again.
Anybody with the interest and patience to do that is a true aficionado.

Paint Complete

L20E baby! Woo!

Wow, dipshit, that car is BEAUTIFUL. New paint is such a dream for me! I'm so jealous
Eric

I think it should be a little lower.
