A long project to get to where I hoped to be. 1963 Chevrolet Impala Lowrider

I have never had any desire to build a Lowrider, but some of the finest paint work in the automotive world lives in that culture. I am always striving to improve my painting skills and I thought this would be a great project to experiment on. I have painted, stripped, and repainted more times than I counted. In the end I will win as long as I don't give up.
The pictures depict the struggle.
