Pretty color!

One thing...you painted the headlight buckets and core support black, but you didn't paint the main thing that's going to show up through the grille...the latch/hood spring support??? :stirpot:


Good point - the center support was actually laying inside the car when the pics were taken.. but you are right - it was painted body color. The front side WILL be painted for sure...

Looks great!

FYI  When I did my sound deadener, I made sure to get some in-between the x-braces and the body behind the rear seat.  I found that these were a major source of resonation while my interior was out and I was cruising.

Your project is coming out awesome!

I cant wait to see pictures of this thing outside is sunlight.  Really love the ghost stripe, hard too see but it is a excellant use of paint and very subtle.  Looks cool in other words. :2thumbs:
