Good decision to remove all that old paint. Nothing will kill the gloss of a fresh paint job like Layers and layers of old nasty paint and body filler. I always like the "In progress" pics of builds. Most people never get to see that part.

I cant decide if I like the shaved door handles or not. It looks clean, but weird at the same time. Maybe it'll grow on me.

It also looks bucktoothed lol

Nice custom work, but not for me..Looks funny.. I guess since most cars come with handles its something to get used to..thumbs up with having the ***** to go thru it though.. what happened to putting the gas filler behind the tail light?

looks good, shaved doors dont bother me as i have had them before. it might just be me or maybe the pics but does the paint seem to be a different shade in some areas?
