Nicely done patch repair for your first attempt. I'd just rock a rattle-can re-spray in a color that matches better. Use some finer grade Scotch-Brite or steel wool to help w/the blend.
Thanks! Appreciate the comments, I didn't think it was horrible for a first try, I can definitely see getting better at it if it was something I did more often.

I've been considering either a spray bomb or buying a cheap Harbor Freight gun and spraying it myself. Either way I'm definitely going to drive it first and work the kinks out, getting it back to daily driver status is a priority




As far as progress goes, I worked on it this weekend some and got the clutch and brakes bled, plus fixed several electrical issues that were mainly due to grounding. It starts and runs now! Won't stay running very long and I have no rear lights whatsoever, but I'm closing the gap on the electrical gremlins.
