Flake! What's the plan?

Masking..... Silver leaf lettering and candy apple. What else is there in life?

Is this a commission, Jeff, or will it be your own lid?

No, this is for a customer.... I am working on one of mine though.

Would be good to see pics if you have them.

Got some compound on the existing paint today, and it came out OK.. So today started sanding rear fenders ready for some body and paint work. Then it is up for sale. Total cost should be around $150. So truck stands me in $2350.

Good way to work your way up the $$ and car ladder! Buy cheap that needs bodywork/minor stuff, do your business and sell for a profit!

You could be the Canadian version of Mike Brewer/Edd China Jeff (Wheeler Dealers if you get it in Canada).

Just remember when you sell, tell the guy to ''Old owt yer and''

Yep, I shall use profit on this to buy another. So in reality, next car is free, only my labour. There are plenty of cheap cars this time of year. See how it goes.
