finally got a bit of an update after a couple weeks. here some basic lay out of what happened
i end up wet sanding the entire car and repainting the color to match correctly it seems that the areas i touched up didnt want to match the rest of the car when i cleared over it again.
the entire car is now offically painted and cleared next is too start wet sanding here down to a smooth finish and polish her out to a extremly bright blue
which i cant wait to take up to my shop and start polishing oni painted almost all my crome parts black and begiing to install everything back together. i put the front end together looks great all blacked out. i just need to get window trim to match which i will do this weekend plus other places to topuch up on window edges.
on to the pics

iv been think about keep the chrome but i need to get them re chrome if i do keep them chrome for now since i get black paint for free im going for the black out look first if i dont like it off to powdered coat they go.
a friend from work showed me this pic of a car on bullrun. i wish it wasnt red. i do like the black out trim and everything. i might keep some chrome on mine tho specially around the windows and little things maybe.

Hard to lay paint outside...
Nice build so far, looking forward to seeing the end result.
yea paint booths make laying paint a lot nicer.
Keep the chrome. I am always in the mind of restoring to original as much as possible.
Here is my uncles 70 SS 396:
Keep up the good work!
that is a beautiful 70 chevelle!
yea i have the mind set of keep it orginal but when i know its a 1968 chevelle malibu 307 it is worth much in a restoration. if it was a true ss i would
