That yellow looks very nice.
The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.

Re: my 78 after spraying
im thinking just to the right of the speedo....i dont want to put everything outta proportion.
havent really had a good look. as soon as im happy with the car on the outside...ill really get a move on.
i dont wanna put the new runner boards on and whilst cutting and polishing the guy messes on everything.
all ready he got over spray on my new steering wheel.
anyway...ill keep whoever is intersted posted.

Re: my 78 after spraying
howzit man....firstly, u get wot u pay for. i worked my ass off prepping the cabbie-and the guy who sprayed didnt do such a good job.
so he blames the prep? yet i flatted the whole thing with 1000 paper, i sprayed the primer and "did" the welding.
anyway...his theory was to put enuff paint on, so when it came to the cutting and pollishing it would be ok.
let me finish the car, then we can meet up and u can see for yourself...right?
