K frame of coarse, which will be 99% hidden came out nice, she does show the neglect it's been through but the paint came nice!
if time allows I will clear the good ones sunday, then it's back to the 74 a while, got the power steering hoses, rad hoses , heater hoses & the belts I got last week to put in, let my fingerprints grow back awhile!

Not to rain on your parade, but, shouldn't the K-frame be low-gloss black? [smilie=e:

Ok folks, now I still got a lot of work to do on most of these parts, was a beautiful CALM morning, the hole time I was preppin for the clear coat, was just gettin started with the clear coat & the friggen wind came up, so as good as it looks in the pics, I got more dirt & bugs than usual, the clear does hide some chit, but also showed a wave I missed in the quarter & my droopin body line, both near each other on the driver quarted(droop over wheel well & waves just above the line foward of the wheel well), the rest I think I can live with!

Vik, hope you used it to burn up some gas, tooling around & smokin the tires!
Thought I was gonna be inside sandin out the bad parts(AGAIN) but it was so nice this am I decided to play outside with the clear(Nasty stuff to spray indoors!) I'll have too much a that in the next few months! Rich.
 
still sanding away , doing & redoin parts, touch ups on the shell look ok, will know for sure after next coat a clear, dents in the fender "incident" done gettin ready for a repaint & cleaned up the other fender so I can shoot both at once, got the tranny mount done when shootin the touch ups, gotta dig out more parts to get ready for paint!
Nice little suprise in the backround, I got the plates for the 74 in! [smilie=e:
