That is fantastic paint work, John. With all of that body sculpting from the factory, the wild paint looks right at home, and the colors work great together.

That is a good looking T-Bird! You did an excellent rebuilding job on that kit. The modifications are tastful and does not lose the character of the base car like many customization projects do. I do not think I could spend that many hours taping a model car off, you are very patient. A '58 T-Bird promo was my second model, if the tool still exists, I wish Round 2 would reissue it as a snap kit! Great job! B)

No lack of skills here. Beautiful paint work, and a great way to overcome the pin striping limitations. The gold is a perfect addition.

Your paint work is absolutely beautiful. Truly inspiring. The color combo you have chosen is very soft and calming. You should be proud!

Also shot the clear coat but it stilled needs to be polished out. Just to give you a taste of the finish here's a couple cropped shots of it mocked up with bumpers and chassis.

I agree with everybody - beautiful, precise masking/painting, and the subtle alterations you started with were really worth the effort.
