        FANTASTIC! I hope you are not having some of the nightmares like I did when I was about this far along with mine. I would dream I was showing the car to admiring friends and the paint would start slipping off on the ground[:0]...then I would wake up! Whew! So far it is still on. Good luck and keep the pictures coming.

                      Really Purdy

                      I like the colors and the paint job looks great.

                      I do envy the spray booth, wish I had access to one.

                      Please keep posting.

                        Is that a Carolina Tar Heel Blue color? I love it! But then again I'm prejudice. Fantastic color combo.

                          "I left my heart at the Stage Door Canteen...I left it there with a Stude named Irene..." That's about how that old standard goes, right?

                          A 1954 C-body Studebaker. I like a lot of different Studes, but that car is at the top of my list. What a beauty...even before completion.

                            Joseph I have used all PPG products. Tried to use the best of everything, she deserves it, the colors are Nocturene Blue over Vienna Blue, and I know the Vienna blue does look a lot like Carolina Blue. Thanks for all of the positive comments.
