Fresh paint job on 85 Cutlass...

[SeeMy355]

im guessing with the pearl the pictures arent doing the new paint job justice.

pictures do look nice though,

You're right...

I'm really impressed with the job the painter did as far as his paint matching/selection...

I'll have to take some pics from different angles to see if I can catch the pearl flakes...

looks great, I like white cars but you should have got rid of that antenna! put on on your windshieldon the inside at the top.

Now that you mention it, I just saw a website that had chrome shorty antennas for g-body cars...

They were priced decently too...

...I'm actually going to see if I can replace the chrome door trim and the wheel fender chrome with some fresher pieces...

Wheel wells mouldings sure, but your lower mouldings aren't going back on, since all the mounting studs have all been removed...

Looks very nice though, that's for sure.

And pearl white is a hard color to capture with a camera.

Removing those pieces trim makes the car look clean. Nice.

One tiny little thing...I wouldn't have replaced the pinstripe, sorry I'm just being picky.

It's no problem...none at all...I like pinstripes and with all the other detailing I removed from the car I didn't want to include the pinstripe...

It's just personal preference...

Thanks for saying so...

I didn't include pictures of the inside because the inside is trashed...lol...

I have a bunch of junk in there from all the work I've done on the car up to this point, old receipts, boxes from new parts, a transmission pan gasket, etc...and I have a makeshift shifter...lol

Thanks for the compliment...

Not the lower molding...

I was talking about the vertical molding that goes on the edge of the door...

You can see it in the before picture...

Ah, that makes more sense...

I love pearl white hot rods and yours looks nice as well. You're right, that door trim does look nice on the before pic and would look great with your new pin stripe. 8)
