    Thanks for all the nice complements guys the color is Medium Yellow Gold like Nick Dominique's Grabber here a few before pictures the car was a really good body to start with only a few small rust issues was going to go with Medium ginger interior but now im not to sure the wifey thinks black would look better with the black gt stripe so need some input medium ginger or black interior.

    Black with yellow gold inserts would look good. Do you plan to paint the dash?

    I have the medium ginger interior and haven't decided on what color to paint the exterior. Even though, I'm also at odds to keep the interior ginger or change to black. Not an easy decision...keep us posted, I'm very interested in the outcome.:thumbs2:
