I bought my '40 Chev for $80 in October, '67 and have redone it a few times over the years...

Stock, no engine/trans

In March, 2019 I decided it was time to repaint the '40 Chev.
That means refitting the doors, trunk and hood
and tightening all the panel gaps, and painting under the hood.
What color??                  Summit Viper Red...
