 Finally Painted

After 2 years me and the wife finally painted the Fairlane. Now we just need to assemble the rest without chipping or scratching.

Looks nice! It becomes more and more enjoyable as you start to hang the the chrome and such on a freshly painted car and the project comes togather right in front of your eyes. Seems like the paint is always the last big hurdle. Is that the cars' original color combination?
