Making progress

We finally got the car home from the painter and I've been workin feverishly to get it back on the road. I've still gotta get the wheel opening moldings, door handles, hood locks and a few other things on, but I'm waiting on parts now. Heres a few pics of the progress so far.

Copper, this car looks, brown, green, gold,or bronze depending on the lighting. It was custom matched to be the same as when we bought it. We decided to keep it the same because it's different. Theres tons of red, black, blue and yellow musclecars around, but the missus didn't want "flashy" , so I decided on going to w-31 route with stripes, hood and spoiler, but none of the "hey look at me" colors. I can't wait to get it on the road!

I get that a lot about my color from people it stands out and is usually the only car that color at the strip or cruise night etc. I like the obscure colors that no one uses.

Mine is lighter in color, but has been the only gold car in my last 2 shows locally. I did win one though. (Dam Chebelles! All SS's!)
