    WOW! You HAVE to be happy with that! Now comes all the fun little detail work. Are you doing a 72 style stripe on hood and Grabber stripes down the sides?

    I asked him the same thing. I think eventually he will go with hood & side stripes. It will break up the "Thanks Vermillion" color, AKA Calypso Coral ....

    My 72 was red. I can not wait to see the finish and when I have the opportunity to start my own.

    Yep! You bet. Do you need a hand? Since this was my dream project. And I sold it to Mike for a good reason. I've been there to help when I can. It's like I'm living my dream build. I included a lot of parts I collected, for the build over the years, with the sale. I'm grateful Mike has included me in the build...

    I'm glad Mike had you there when he ran into so many speed bumps in his life.

    Unfortunately for me, the body shop took several months more than I expected to finish my paint job. This means I will miss this summer's fun, no matter how much help I have.:(

    No. Unfortunately it was paroled from the body shop about 4 months too late.:(
