I like shiny things so obviously, I like it. Please pull the engine back out and paint it candy apple red. 
Would be a lot of trouble, but as good as those inner fenders look Ronnie is onto something!!
Phil, thanks for remembering. We will spend our 50 th anniversary doing the same thing we have done for the last 6 weeks. Taking care of these damn puppies. Can't even drive 15 miles to a restaurant. Someone has to have an eye on them every waking minute. Most people go on a cruise or a romantic trip. We will spend the day watching Fox news and yelling at the dogs. Ain't life grand !!!!!!!
Just noticed the announcement section, The above post should have gone there. My apology.
Who put's your paint in a spray can ???? I have never heard that before ,unless you are talking Preval spray bomb???? Sorry, Semper don't mean to jack your thread!!!!!Actually, here is a better photo of the gloss finish. Hard to get a good shot since the parts are under the bumpers but this gives an idea of the final finish.
I wouldn't hesitate to paint small individual pieces like this again if the need arises.

Nice! I am jealous, I am not even to the stage of getting the 409 built much less have the car ready for it to go into.
Great to see your son helping with the installation. I have had my boys in the garage since they were old enough to walk. Quality time.

The auto paint store did it for me. The store in my area is called Space Age Paints and they sell everything you could need for body and paint work on a vehicle. The cans look like regular paint cans but have a pretty nice quality nozzle. Worked great!
My son in law who is a body man has put leftover paint in a spray can for me for touch ups. It works well.
Looks like it will be ready for the Potato Day car show in August. Already got you penciled in!!
I am in!!! Thanks to all of my friends here; we are coming down the home stretch. Ronnie is onto something; with that Candy Apple Red engine. Hard to believe the paint on the car was done near 25 years ago... It is dusty, but thankfully being a Texas car, it ain't rusty. I really appreciate the comments as I was wondering what it looked like to the experts here. The cars have a magnetic power with all of us and especially with our children. Junior has learned to operate much of the equipment; media blasters, air tools and he was running the mig last night; practicing on an old fenderwell. I owe much to the car and my new found friends here. Still feels like America when I am conversing here and in the shop with the kid. Thanks guys!Looks like it will be ready for the Potato Day car show in August. Already got you penciled in!!
Just took a quick tour through previous posts, the inner fender turned out great. I fell in love with candy apple red the first time I saw a 41 Willys painted that color. Sure would like an excuse to use that paint somewhere.
Congrats......dont let off the gas yet,look forward to seeing your video.......sp6t1don't post: 278164 said:
Sounds good Sean.
I can't believe you are going to come all this way for our little car show! I will make certain to have the fridge well stocked with refreshments and dead cow.
