Looks nice! I hope you plan to paint the roof? You should apply some kind of paint or sealer before applying the vinyl top or it will look like a gator in a few years as the top traps moisture which will cause roof rot if left unsealed. Not too late. Mask off the new paint and hit the roof. Unless the pics are deceiving and thats paint under what looks like a peeled off top?

If possible, could you ask your paint shop to give you the actual mix codes that they used to achieve that color? It appears they did a really nice job matching the original single stage paint. I am curious to see if the codes are similar to the paint my body shop used.

That blue beauty is nice. That's how my car came stock. With the 1 chrome mirror on drivers side and with that same hood. Thanks for sharing. Any pics of the hood stripes ?
