*** Project UpDate, Paint ***
First of all no pics, yet :cry I just got a call from my brother that they had trailered the car back from the paint shop. It's all black now. I'd so would like to take the first flight back home and see how it turned out. I will have to wait another 2 weeks before I can see it in person. I try to get pics uploaded as soon as possible. I also ordered all the cockpit carpets and all the emblems and new tailights from CC. The car is going to be ready before the end of April, so looks like it's going to be the best summer for awhile!
Cheers, Jay :cheers:

Congrats Groove-man! Hope it's lookin great. I too am currently stripping the 72's exterior parts as I search for a reasonable paint shop. Too many shops around here want 7K to strip old paint, and shoot.... and that's with me removing all exterior parts!! Good luck with your's....and let's see some pics!!!

That's cool, I can't wait to see pictures. Your car is going to be one of the best here on the forum when you get done. I look forward to seeing it. My car should be going to the paint shop next week.
