I agree with keith. Looking at this makes me want mine to be that pretty....it's probably not the best idea for me though. I like to use my nice things too much...I'd be worried all the time about messing up that pretty paint following Keith.
If no one from the future comes back to stop you from doing it then how bad of a decision can it really be?

You have to be proud of this Tyson, looks great.

I'll bet you sweat bullets once you have to start bolting stuff back on trying not to be the first guy to knick or scatch anything with a wrench, ratchet or screw driver!

But the paint looks great.nwhat area of the lower mainland is this car from? Hope to see it at some future events.

ImageImageThis is as far as we are taking this 510. It is off for interior work then home for the owner to finish assembly.The car lives in Vancouver and came up from the U.S. a few years ago.The new sheet metal that we installed was very nice to have. We fit two fenders and a valance. The fenders needed some fitting and a bit of supersonic line massaging but that goes with most all aftermarket panels.The valance was a straight fit needing only a little convincing.I would certainly recommend these panels, its nice to eliminate a bit of the rust/metal replacement in these jobs with the new metal panels.Thanks Dave Patten and Futo Fab! Another 510 finished, we are on to a 69 z28 and a 1976 jeep cj that is getting a new aluminium body. thanks for the comments guys.

Just an amazing job sit !

Woah that's just like a new hood ! The metal structure to strengthen the hood at mine is bit rusted.. So probably have to hammer some new metal and welding it in. How actually did you painted the metal inside of a structure ? I mean you wont cover it just by normal spray gun ?
