    Looks great Mike! All those hours of block sanding were worth it. Better gloss/paint period, than it did the day it was made. Now comes the fun, reassembly part. Keep up the good work! Ian  :thumbsup:

    Thanks guys.

    I was getting high just off the fumes watching them paint it. lol.

    Next phase is Organasol the Tail panel.
    Also the trim needs to be sent out for polishing and a few small little dinks to straighten out.

    I would buy new tail panel trim but they want $325.00 for it. Jeez!!
    I heard the OEM trim was better made anyway so I'll stick with that.

    This will no doubt be the best Christmas present ever in my life.

    Is that for the Metro trim?  I think Mike at BE&A sells that trim for under $200?  Call and ask him...I don't think the website gets updated with everything he sells.

    I went with the blue interior as that is what mine came with from the factory.  If you have a black vinyl top,  i think a white interior would look sharp too, what with the black billboards. choices choices! :stirpot:

    That color is awesome. Beautiful car.

    Now, if it were me...  :)  I'd go white interior, white billboards. With that blue paint... man.

    Gonna look great whichever way you go.

    I wonder what that would look like with an argent shaker and argent tail panel.
