<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: jasonL78</div><div class="ubbcode-body">What a great project. I’m glad Barry decided to leave the car as is and just put it back together. This way Barry and his son can enjoy the car. The day 2 original look really works for this car. From 10 feet you would think you are going to fall into this paint job. But when up close you see years of patina. You just can’t duplicate that look. Here is a couple I took before loading the car up.

Barry the car looks great. I agree, that slight patina cannot be duplicated. Great job Jason!
