Yeah, third times a charm right  Grin The first one was an obvious need, the other two were brought about by constant use onthe street and drag strip as well as using Acrylic Laquer paint. It doesn't hold up that well in the Phoenix sun. Third paint job, I used Acrylic Urethane base coat clear coat. Quite a bit more money for materials, but hopefully it'll last longer. I'm hoping to have it done in a month or so. I finally gotr the front end height right, now it's glass and interior!

Nice, at least you are in pheonix, and got a good dry weather, which shows that your car has nearly no rust!!!! nice!

Yeah, but I bought the car out of north Jersey, and there was a litte rust behind the wheels and above the wheelwell lip. Been out here now for 20+ years, so the repairs have held!
