For now I just want to get everything painted up, fix a few things on it and then some day I plan on putting a 302 in it.

the car has been sitting for the past 3 years because I never had the extra money to do the things I wanted with it.

Just take a sharp x-acto or utility knife and cut the masking tape to the proper width, its a PITA but worth it.

I only have one pic of my car from a few years ago, py pic though.

Mud Flaps FTL!!

That looks excellent, I'm about 80% convinced to paint the buckets on the 83 body color.  With the chrome taped off of course.

Uh... I wouldn't spend four hours masking that grille.

Just scuff the parts you want black, shoot the WHOLE THING black, and then go back over the chrome parts with a rag dipped in lacquer thinner.  Old detailers' trick.

Looks good, dude...
