No top colour yet but the trunk-lid was mounted and (if I do say so myself) it looks good.

Now I'm getting motivated by progress...

I'm happy with the top colour , It's gonna look good...

Body guy had to rework the hood some more, hidden rust...50 hours and counting...oh yeah 156 louvers...

The roof will be painted this week ,while I work on wiring and brakes.

Man, love those louvers

please post pics. when done

hevad · 04-14-2008, 05:51 PM

Thanks guys,I'm 10 years on this one and I was dragging my behind.
Things seem to be working out now and with the prospect of completion I'm catching my 3rd or 4th wind.

Hey Terry! Yes that is the gray colour,Hard to get a good pic of the light grey,but when it's in the sun it should be a light charcoal grey.

Hey Ken! Yes after four years it will be painted! I don't want to jinx myself but I hope to be cruising by the end of the summer.

Who knows? I just know I'm finally getting to the fun part.
