the reason that i do it this way is actually kind of simple.
when you mask the windows first, your masking line is going to be as thick as the coats you put over it and most of the time there's no way to tell if you cut the masking to properly cover the pre-existing color.(ever see that weird tinge around reapainted windows where the original color peeks through?)
painting the entire body first ensures that your new color will completely cover and when you mask for your new windows, your mask line will be thinner since black covers everything in one coat most of the time.


and yeah, lowrideit, your right....it is a hemi...71' to be exact i guess i was thinking of the superbird at the time.
