Yeah getting the front clip painted really changed the project. It is a lot more fun working on it now that it is clean and shiny. This is the first project car that I've worked on that had new paint. I've been working on cars for 40 years and this is the first. All my projects in the past have been used cars with layers of crud. My Coronet is fairly clean by now since I've washed it and wiped it down a ton of times over the years but it still has factory paint on it which is all chipped up and scratched and beat to heck.
