Super cool. Congrats! Can I ask a question though, I see on one shot where it looks like just the corners and edges are painted. Is that necessary or what's the rational behind that. I know you typically need to cut in the hard to reach areas, but was unfamilar seeing it like that. But then again, I am a novice.

It's easy to wind up with thin/transparent edges, by coloring them prior to painting the whole vehicle you make sure it doesn't happen....

Love that color (GY1?) on a '71-2 B-body.
