So, the Nason is working for you ok? I did my 'first' good paint work on my daughter's car about 2 1/2 years ago and it still looks good much to my amazement! Base/clear....had my doubts but it turned out pretty good and the orange peel wasn't bad at all for a first timer.

Just did my first body job two years back. That is work! Hats off to you.
I used Nason urethane with a wet look hardener. No clear coat. It still looks good and shiny.

66 T-Bird convertible. Recently came out of storage since 90. Had second paint job(black)just before it went into storage. Single stage ppg Delstar acrylic enamel. I'm rolling it into booth tomorrow to start color sanding on it. Odo reads 45K miles & i believe it because there is absolutely no slop in left lower door hinge. The ask on it is 12.5K.

I have no idea why I know about T-birds lol but they have always caught my eye for some reason.

 

[BeeKool]

Agree. Love the first few of generations of T birds.
When the seventies hit they weren't very attractive but I like that one.

My biggest problem with them is that they as so freaking heavy......and complicated!

Very pleasing interior,,,freakin sled but easy on the eyes. The 'vert top is an intriguing affair,,the rams, worm drives.....more relays than Carter's got pills....def some engineering. This one is milder 390/single 4 bbl.

My Mother bought a new 67 two door, 390/single 4 bbl. Great interior, comfortable, nice lines, but it was a tank when pushed.
