Sorry for those who don't care too much.
The pics can get boring.
The washboard hood took some work!

Paint getting very close to being done!








Yes, I know the wheels on a 58 are supposed to be silver but I like the yellow.
And it's difficult to notice but I didn't go with the exact Panama Yellow. Mine is a bit more pastel (less gold) by choice. I kept it the same as the old color. No one ever notices but I think the more pastel tint is more "50's".

Funny, I'm looking and enjoying these great photos and when I came to the first of the inside of the trunk and saw it was body color.... OH boy, something wrong again with my 59. Then I scrolled down a little more and it was sprayed black. Now I can sleep again at night. LOL.

Plus pastel tones everything down. Especially once all that chrome gets back on. Gosh even chrome spears on the trunk? 59's are just so less showy Dave. LOL Everything looks beautiful. I mean I love red, but that yellow isn't hard to look at.
