Okay, time for the clear...

Okay, now it's time to pull the tape, cleanup any nubs and run a tack rag over everything and start applying the clear:





I'm really liking it,  can't wait for the shine!

Subsequent coats applied and flashed off, it's really starting to shape up:

Okay, time for the first coat of color:

I have bought and sold on Bring A Trailer, with good experiences. 
One posting did not meet my reserve and they gave me the contact info for the two bidders and encouraged me to try to get them closer to my price, which I thought was more than fair.
I have put a small sign in the window with Available or For Sale, very discreet and it seemed to get results from people that were actually looking at the car.
Good luck.

I am new here just reading and trying to get a 57 Ford Custom 300 built. At this point I am just finishing the rust repair off and I am already over my budget at the 6 month point. This is not a restoration just making the car I wanted as a teen. I am more concerned with finishing than the loss. I started with 2 cars from 2 different scrap yards because there are no or very limited 57 Fords available in Maine! The market goes up and down and car guy's should know that. Hot Rods / Rat Rods /cars of the 50's and 60's are way past what people today want.

An idea where to source one?

Now it's time to mix up the sealer and get ready to start laying it down:

Then it was time for the masking party to start which pretty much took the whole afternoon:



We got the fenders setup on separate stands, the trunk and hood will be done separately:

Once we had the stripes squared away, we pulled the fenders and rolled it into the booth:
