I M SLOWLY MOVING ALONG.....I had a friend help out with the Dana ( I have no idea how to do the ring and pinnion dance and dont want to have problems later from learning on this job) Im really happy and for now only have limited pics. I would like to know who knows about the green plastic plug? Ive only seen red plugs available to buy so we went with the original green piece.
I will also be posting pics of the heater box as soon as I get the stamp in hand and can get the part number applied.

Wheres the snail smiley.............. :D

That green dana plstic should say Clover 203 on it

Shows evidence of black paint and says clover 203

Ive got some paint updates since the shop FINALLY finished up the Road Runner and are able to focus on my car.

I spent a long time on color selection! not the color choice but the shade of color I was happy with. Thanks to Doug and Ron for more help than I could have imagined!

The main body is expected to be shot late next week and I'll definetly have pics to show off but for now just some teasers. Im not sure what else is painted because these were mailed to me. I'll be at the shop on Monday and on paint day next week.

The overspray looks a little heavier in the picture than it does in person. Im happy with it but we did go back and adjust the amount and location on the front frame rails.

Thanks guys!
Its PPG BC/CC and isn't exactly off the shelf, Thanks to Doug and Ron (Big Bird) I was able to get a color Im happy with. It was a 2 month ordeal Im not looking forward to ever repeating.

I took some pics but the car is still in the booth and the pics aren't much different than the one posted. Ill post them up tomorrow...Off to bed! (3RD Shifter)

Dave and his painter put a LOT of work and shot several different test panels to get a color adjustment that would be representative of what the factory paint looked like.  A lot of times when you see Limelight on cars, it really looks oversaturated.   Almost too vibrant.

PPG was my hunch too looking at the pics. Their colors are so much more vibrant, they have that "pop".
Looks really good!  :cheers:

Just a little note, not nitpicking.  I love the car and color, doing an excellent job.  I can't see the speedo cable clip on your car.  Maybe 70 Birds didn't have it or maybe it just doesn't show up in the pic :shruggy:
