After open heart surgery, wife battling cancer and other life events the 50 coupe is in for paint.............

....the rest of the story is after getting the hood, splash pans, trunk and both doors painted the previous paint guy said he couldn't finish the job... only the stripped body was left. and his excuses were lame at best.

.....since no one wants to finish another's work I almost decided to do the best I could and do it myself....
it took me a couple months but I found someone to finish the job.
So the project has new life! The body color is below....the top is a creme white.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hubcap than ride in a Ferd.
