Default Finally finished painting!

I bought this car late last year and it didn't have a hood. It had recently been painted Torch Red (Corvette color) and the paint was awesome. For the price I couldn't pass the car up. It was a rolling chassis with fresh paint, no rust, tubular K, coil overs, sub frames, and 5 lug conversion.

Back to the point of the thread. I got my hood back from paint this week! It is just slightly off in color but it is fresh and the old paint is a year old by now. Let me know what you think. Oh and yes I know the wheels dont match.

I had to sell the other one More rust than I was willing to deal with. I think you had a similar situation right?

Thanks for the compliments!

Thanks again for the compliments guys!

I paid just under 2k for the car. Then I swapped in my engine and trans from my 82. I also bought everything necessary to switch to fuel injection.

Then I had to get a hood and I found a cervini for $400 and the paint cost me $400. So I basically spent 2800 on the car. Not too bad!
