Man, I wish I still had mine.

About 15 years ago I had a friend who's dad painted high end cars. He had some Candy Apple Pearl left over from a job which cost about 300/qt. I took my 1966 C10 Fleetside over there and he painted it with that paint.

I went all out on details on that truck including plug wires made out of thread. I used parts from several other models and it had a real hotrod look to it.

It is what got me interested in the 60-66 Chevys. A couple years ago I trashed and some more I think it due to the glue starting to let go and wish like crazy I would not have.
