Default It is finally yellow!

I've had this one for about a year. Been working on it on and off. I finally got some paint on it today.

Yeah the lighting in there makes everything look yellow and the overspray helps make everything yellow too. Actually the gravity feed gun helps to keep the overspray down.

Some more progress pictures. Almost all buffed out and started some put together. Progress is slow but I'm getting there.

This is what I started with. The car had not run in over 10 years.

You didn't opt for a really deep yellow?

It looks like wimbelton white in some photos it looks like it came out really nice too. You can paint mine for me

No, since I'm building it stock so I can sell it I painted back the original Springtime Yellow. If I was going to keep it for myself it was going to be a much brighter yellow. I figured the stock color would sell better.

I have never understood why someone would fix up a classic just to sell it. Im glad they do but I just dont get why someone would do all that work for a small ROI if not a loss.

What do you think it will sell for? Will you at least break even?
