Default Special Thank You To Porchdog And Others

Just a sincere and special "THANK YOU" to Porchdog and all the others on this paint forum. My two plus year restoration project is almost complete and this site was a major contributing factor for the end result. Here is the link to many photos (not in order) that were taken along the way.
Thanks Again,
Norm

damnnnnn, i like it ! just hotrod enough to flutter my putter . after you rest up take another trip around it with a foam pad but wear sunglasses if i could post a pic i would put up the 57 restomod. it's back for the top and trunk interior plus putting a new hood on it. the second buff is fun.................. no sanding

beautiful job, now get it together and post a finished pic

Someone asked if car was torch red. I felt like that color has been worn out on plastic cars. This one is 2009 Pontiac Liquid Red. Wanted it to be a little different so did a ton of comparison before picking a red. So far I am very pleased with how it turned out.
Thanks,
Norm

The seats are from a 2006, cashmere color, less than 2000 miles. Yes they will require extensive mods to fit a tall person. At present they are not bolted down. My daughter fits perfect at 5'6" but a little tight for me at 5'10". Super comfortable and power everything so I will certainly find a way to make it work.
Thanks for asking,
Norm

Working on it DOG! Finished buffing the T-Tops and worked on tail lights this weekend. Still got a lot of small junk to finish up. Hope to be at the strip by end of this month.
Thanks,
Norm
