Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England

I finally got a top coat on my hood this weekend. As I have limited space, painting anything in my garage is a challenge, painting something the size of a 64 C10 hood more so. I have two problems, first is space, I need to be able to get around it to paint it and second I need to keep the paint clean. Getting the hood as near vertical as possible was the best solution.

To achieve this I "knocked up" a frame (don't laugh) ,
