Started tearing down this 74 on the 4th of July and have pretty much finished it up a couple weeks ago. Just have a few minor things to tidy up and then it'll be up for sale.

When I get to my computer ill post up all that's been done over the past 7 months because it would take me forever on my phone! Until then here are a few pics. The color is from a 2016 Subaru and it's called plasma green pearl. It's hard to photograph because it has some gold pearl that hard to get to show up in pictures. The top is a Kia color called titanium gray metallic.

I really like it. Pretty work.
One question. I have never seen exhaust dumped where you have it. Are there any issues with gasses in the cab?

This is the second one I've done like this and I've never had any exhaust smell. I suppose you might if you don't have a good Liftgate to tailgate seal

Wow! Nicely detailed and that color is very nice and retro at the same time.


Thanks thats exactly what I was shooting for! Not an easy color to spray though, it is very transparent and took about 5 medium coats and 1 mist coat to get full coverage.

And you shot it yourself!?!?! Jealous!


Yes, I make a booth in my garage. Couldn't have done it without pestering allenfahey on here with tons of questions over the past couple of years! I will say that bodywork and painting have become my two most favorite things to do during a restoration.
