That T5 is such a hot color. What is wrong with your wife anyway, lol? How could she like that baby blue better than copper?

It could'a been Pink Joel, if she wanted another car we were getting it!

Just the bottom part where I taped it off, you can see the clear overlap. Very nice spraying can and I didn't even do my usual and simulate factory runs!

Looking great all around so far. Keep it up!

Was The 2k T5 copper paint, was that from a Shop that mixes it up for you and puts it in the can etc..? I’ve used similar for my modern day truck. But was a different brand, from a local to me shop in yyc.

Wondering if they can do a satin black for a hood. I’m going to have to go ask.

I took a shot in the dark, went on Amazon.ca and typed in 1969 Dodge T5 and one seller came up. Shipped out of PA and Fedex/Customs all their problem if they want to play Amazon. I don't even have any idea if the paint on the car is true T5!

Yep. Happy wife = happy life.

Heck, I do this regardless if I am trying or not!

Was more of a statement of how good the paint and can tip is than my skill....

That looked eerily like old films I've seen of the assembly line "body drop" procedure.
Well, ok, a little dramatic license taken, but still...

The first time I did a body-drop engine/transmission install was in 1982. Using 3 floor jacks wasn't as nice as a lift though.

Scary, but I did equally risky stuff in my youth. Like yesterday
