            That is a beautiful color - and not that common? This car would frequent some Keystone meets - loved it.

ID:	1725399The paint is roughly $900, but the clear is equally expensive. I'm making more progress. Glass will go in this week. Upholstery is almost done.

                    I saw this car in person yesterday, It is outstanding. The belts have the original part numbers on them, the heater motor has the part number stamped on it, a lot of detail unseen on most cars. The owner should be very very pleased when it is done

                      Brad,

                      It is looking outstanding. I have a couple of questions if you have time to respond. 1) Will you do any color sanding on it? It looks very nice and maybe it does not need it. 2) Make and model of the spray guns used for the base and clear. You are very talented and always kind to answer questions I have had in the past.

                        Charlie, I use a Satajet 5000 RP digital with a 1.3 tip for both the base and clear. I find although it is almost a HVLP, it does atomize the product much better than some of the true hvlp guns. For base, I would like to get an Anest-Iwata LS400 supernova, but they are pretty pricey.
