Default Painting My '64 GTO
My car has been in the paint shop for about two months, and it is now nearing completion. These pictures were taken today. I'm hoping it will be done in about three more weeks. My plan is to take it to Bellevue, WA for the GTOAA Nationals.

What are those funny spots around the scoop? or is it just reflections in the picture?

It had a scoop, but the old one was fiberglass. I had that one removed and had a metal one welded on.
