The color is a custom color that has only blue tint and blue pearl in it. I wanted a blue that was only blue with no side cast colors. This one is as blue as blue gets. Here are a few pics in the sun before it was water sanded and polished.

Yep Bumpers sure would be nice cause I am ready for them now. Wonder if that someone will bring them by soon. :yesnod: :lol:

The windshield was a blast to do in the heat. The silicone was setting up while I was pulling the cord and I had to move fast before it set. Them the chrome was a jigsaw puzzle to put back on. It polished up nicely and I got it all back on. Wireing and instruments are next. Unless those bumpers show up.

Sure is nice to have some flesh growing back on my fingertips. Dave how did that photo come out of the reflection of you guys cars in the quarter panel?

I am always on the job and protectin the skies!

Yep that one, cool shot. Picked up the interior from Jerry's except for the top and the seats. As you can see I still havent tackled cutting in the hood insert. Everyone- note to self, when you buy a big block hood get the insert BEFORE you paint it, that way you wont be waving a diegrinder at fresh paint like I will have too. I forgot that it sets back into the scoop. I was reminded after Dave made his last run to Zip and was nice enough to bring it to me. Then we both had a beer while I pondered over my mistake. Thanks again Dave. :flag

gorgeous, I love the color. What a blue, inspires me to finish mine, but I have to much body work left yet, maybe soon. These projects always go longer than you expect. I love the fact that you painted it what you wanted and not what was "correct". I plan on going black on my original red car because I always wanted a black with red interior car.
Really nice car, thanks for putting up pictures.

What bumpers? I claimed them first. Now I've got an excuse to drive back over and drop them off and get a col'beer.
She is looking good though, I'm impressed with your revival of the 67. Can't wait to see it finished and on the road. Not but just a couple midyears running around here.
