This just inspires me to work on my junk.

That looks fantastic, especially with the top down. You hit a home run with it!

[mrocketscience]

Thanks guys! I'm pretty stoked. Can't wait to make a road trip.

Great color choice! Looks perfect.

I like it! Love these rescue threads......

fantastic! That car sure has gone through a tremendous transformation - well done! Great color choice. The black top rules too.

[mrocketscience]

Thanks, we really love the color. I'll have to research the side marker problem. Maybe Firebird markers will work. Some kind of small relector that doesn't look like it came off of a trailer will probably be ok. I think for Christmas it'll get some sort of stereo setup, w/ satellite and I phone hookup. No tunes currently.

Looks great! I wonder if the Firebird side markers might cover the holes. IIRC, they just mounted flat on the body panel.

Nice color for a convert. Looks good with the black grille too.

As long as Mrs Rocketscience is happy..........

[mlcraven]

WOW! Thing of beauty!

Sharp! Out of body shop jail in good time and already to a show. Good times.

[74NovaMan]

Very Nice!

Ok, paintwork completed! Piicked it up Saturday morning and I have to say I'm really pleased with it. I spent a little time tidying up some details Sunday morning and we took it to the local cruise night. I still need to find some side marker lights since I had the body shop remove the side trim strip and fill the holes. Has a much cleaner look. I replaced the old hood tach with the correct Pontiac style for 69, the old hood tach was the wrong shape. Now, of course, the new paint makes the old bumpers look bad. Lol! MrsRocketscience is very happy with it.

but boy is it gonna look sharp when its done...

[mrocketscience]

We went over to the jail and visited the Cat Saturday morning. Looks like it's not getting out early for good behavior. Looks like a couple of more weeks to me. So I guess it'll be 5 weeks total.
