Default UPDATE #18...Next time you see it, the interior will be a different color. PICS !!!

The car is only 2 days late for it's date to the paint shop. Only the interior will be painted at this time. The exterior paint scheme is in it's final drafts. I've had a few to choose from and quite frankly cannot make up my mind. Trying to keep it somewhat simple and not all sticker-ed up like a moving billboard.

Hey Mike...I havent been posting on the forum for a while but I have been lurking and following your project. It really looks like everything is coming together very nicely. You've certainly jumped into this project with both feet and arent taking any short cuts. I'm really anxious to see the finished product.

Have fun with that beast when its all done.
