Re: Florida to California Road Trip 1966 C10 SWB

Hood looks great. Very nice match. Painting these 62-66 hoods is so frustrating because of the all the sharp up and down lines on them and you will shoot them thinking you are going so slow and not putting enough paint on it and make your final pass and swoosh! The paint starts to slide and puddle everywhere and there you are crying like a fool! Wait two days, bust out the soap, water and 220 grit, block the puddles thinking you can save it and then you burn through and go back to the paint shop cussing because you only have half a pint of paint left to do touch ups to the whole truck and you need a good pint of color to do the whole hood. Its a big panel with a lot of acreage on it. But Im glad you didnt have to deal with that agony. Your truck looks great and you are really enjoying her. I want to do an extended road trip in mine someday.
