That car is going to be awesome  :2thumbs:  Getting the paint on is the most exciting stage of the restoration process.  Keep at it  :clapping:

Looks good!!   :thumbsup:

  Are you doing a Chip Foose type of thing all over(interior/exterior)?

yes the interior will be similar to chippers... he has full blown racing seats with cutouts in them whereas my seats are the original seats reupholstered to look like his.. and no i didnt paint it myself ... I wish i knew how to paint but unfortunately i had to dig into the wallet

well here it is... not fully finished yet but alot closer...some small details to work out....tryin to decide if i want it to sit lower in the back or not?? thinking about another inch or so then it would look better but i dont knwo ..... anyways here it is.... The paint and seats are actually alot closwer to matching that it appears in the pics but the sun messes with my camera...

It's hard to really tell from that picture but I think I would lower it a little.

Didn't Foose put orange pinstriping around the silver strobes?

I really appreciate the upholstery work.  I hope you will post more pics, as the green is indeed difficult to really see on the exteriior.  Congrats, this car will get a lot of looks, no doubt.

   :iagree:

I love those seats.   :2thumbs:  Who did you buy the material from, or did a trim shop do that for you? I want something like that in burgundy and black for my car.
