    It's a custom mix to match the Hot Wheels Green Grabber, Nason Ful-Thane and my paint guy hit the color dead on!

    Thanks, I did miss a few small dents and can see them now lol, looks like someone had fun at one time or another with a pellet gun on this car cuz I fixed alot of small dents I did see, I guess thats the price I pay for not having much rust to deal with, my first attempt at painting a car, I paint houses for a living.

    It's still in the shop, I can't move it, not able to walk very good right now.

    Thanks Paul, Just what I needed today was a good laugh and you did it!! although that fifth of Jager I have in the freezer sounds good, I don't think it would mix well with the Flexeril, I am doing a little better now that i found my back support it helps alot.

    Yeah I think when the white stripes go on it'll calm it down some, speaking of which while I was out of action with my back I did work on the Graphics, they are grouped together to save vinyl (gotta save some it's $125.00 a roll) any how if ya have trouble figuring it out I can put them back in order to show ya......Pic doesn't show it good but there is a 1/4" gap and stripe also there, now gotta go winch it back into the shop.

    Got most of the frontend back on today, bumper, stone guard, grill, headlights and surrounds and the trim on the front of the hood that's stamped "Made In Canada", I have three and that's the only one that's got anything stamped on it, still have the valence to bolt on.

    It's rare to find a hood trim that doesn't say "Made in Canada" Back in the good old days of the auto pact.

    Very nice............I thought you were going to push the car out and get a couple of pictures???????????????
    I saw the first shot inside your garage but didn't show much.
    Do you have the motor in it..................if so, are you going to lower the front a little...........or leave it high?:D

    There is one pic I got the side, had to eliminate other cars in it by erasing them lol, go back a page and take a look.
    I'm gonna wait and see what a frontend alignment does before I decide anything on the front.

    Motor is in just can't start it with the key gotta figure it out.
