My 89 has been painted

My 89 notch has new paint. It was painted by my dad and his friend. Before it was painted, we did some body work and replaced some trim. It has new headlights, and a new front bumper cover. I fell asleep at the wheel and drove into a metal road marker, which cracked the bumper cover and the passenger headlight. The header panel was also damaged some so I replaced it to. I replaced the hood because the old one was warped and dented. There were some door dings and small dents all over the car that needed to be filled, so I tried filling them with putty. I got rid of most of the dents/dings but you can still see the ones I didnt get or couldnt see. The paint went on good up until the last layer of clear coat, it ran on the sides. My dads friend is going to come back and redo the sides in a couple of weeks.

I took some pics, I plan on taking more later.

It still needs buffing, the sides are really dull.
