Not to criticize, but being in the middle of my first resto job (71 cuda ), and spending the time you are w/ that awsume paint job, I would think you would correct the fender gills???  I'm just starting w/ my metal work, and hope it comes out as nice as yours.

By the way,  I think that's a great color, I haven't yet decided on my color, was considering Gun Metal, but a little too low key.  What color is that?  I'm also considering sassy green, but everyones restoring that color it seems.

Good luck w/ your project.

No problem at all. I appreciate for pointing that out. I was going to change the fenders and go with the later models with original gills but I realized that I kind of like the way these gills are set up further in the middle of the fender. About the paint, I had to have it made myself and had it done by changing it over and over again to finally the shade that I liked and this is what we got. But the basis was from a european color car that we started out with.At least, that s what I was told. And it was a dark green as you can see. I m sure your metal work will come out great and thank you for your comment on the paint job.Good luck to you too and enjoy your restoration.Thanx. :bigsmile:
