    Made some real progress this past weekend. My brother and put the car in final primer and my brother is going to block it out this week. My brother talked to my painter this morning (I would have but I am back in Sunnyvale and my painter is in Redding) and he is coming out Friday to inspect the car and then we are going to paint the weekend after Thanksgiving! :woohoo: We also got the seats put together, and dyed most of the interior trim. My Dad said that we will work on the engine this next weekend when I go up. We also finished the jams with painting the inside of the passenger fender (not shown in the new pictures because we painted the jams on Sunday and the pictures were taken before we painted) the grille header panel, and front splash pan. Here are some pictures of the progress.

    It's finally painted!!! :woo: :woo: I apologize for the quality of the pictures but I have the good camera with me in Sunnyvale, so my brother had to use the low res camera. I have not seen the car in person yet but my brother assures me that it looks awesome. I can't wait to see it in the sunlight in person. I am hoping to have the car finished before the new year.

    PPG base clear, using the Global High Solids clear to give it that little somethin extra. Also I just ordered the exhaust from Accurate LTD, and the Shaker Assembly from Six Pack Performance. I also have one of the new Goodmark grilles on its way. I will keep everyone posted on the quality and fit of all of these.

    Man, your car looks totally awesome plus!!  Maybe I should buy the one for sale on EBay and try to come close to the tremendous restoration you've done.

    Thanks everyone for the kind words. I just placed my order with Year One and they even had the bumpers in stock. I should have all of my parts from everyone by the time I go up next weekend. Then its play time.

    Really nice results :thumbsup: Were you able to order your exhaust in 2 1/2" diameter all the way back or just the head pipes?

    Progress is super, Your Brother and Father are great guys to get on with things while you are away. :clapping:

    Looking forward to the fit up of the new grille and other parts.  If you can take some close up pictures of the grille when you fit it please. :woohoo:
