Mooecow posted:While working on the hood I realized I hadn't looked into where my hood ornament came from. I knew it wasn't correct for the truck, but I had no idea beyond that. After looking at hundreds of different ones, I think I found it. I am pretty sure it came off a 53' or 54' Oldsmobile. I bet LobsterboyX will be along shortly to correct me if I am wrong. It's a '53/'54 olds all right. There's one fairly cheap on eBay that looks like it would be a bit easier to polish and clearcoat than yours. Because, you know, you have to keep the ornament on that truck. It's beautiful, like this thread.

Mooecow posted:I wouldn't call it a professional job by any stretch. I would say it's a ten foot paint job. Which, for something I plan on driving the wheels off of, is perfectly fine for me. I found that the Hotrodders forum had a ton of good info. There were a lot of little tips and tricks that I picked up just by lurking over there. Seconding the 5-foot paintjob, not 10. Those look excellent! Your turn signal lenses are on backwards, though. Red should be to the rear, amber to the front.

Just in case you decide you want to paint the Divco in something a little more flashy than its original Ferndale livery, you could always use some styling cues from this commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrkrFTuUAMA But seriously, it's shaping up great. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the neat photos.
