Looks great, a friend of mine has a 46 column shift that color. I just painted the hood I'm working on about a month ago on the last coat got a huge sweat drop right in the middle. Let dry, sand, repaint, wet sand then buff to blend in, looks like you're having better luck. It's still green though.

Okay, your paint job looks pretty darn good so far; what's the hole in the side of the hood at the front for?

There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

No idea. I figured it would do more harm than good to fix/fill it. So i just left it.

I guess you could put... anything in that hole, then. Is there one on the other side?

Nope. The one hole is very clean. Almost looks like it was punched instead of drilled. I'll figure out something unique to put there eventually.

Looks good, no spare room when you're working on a jeep.

All those little pieces painted separately like that make a big difference in appearance, I think anyway.
