Will be picking it up next week, interior almost done.

The painter darkened up the rear tail light lenses, and it really came out nice.

Full set of pics to come next week....

I've tried to search a little to find out your specs and chassis/engine pictures (can't find perhaps I missed) - please post if you can. Love the work. I'm having fun putting my 69 together its black also.

Here is a before pic - car was about halfway at this point. I drove it like this for about 6 months, and had a lot of fun with it. Worried it is going to be too nice now....

Advanced Auto Trim is doing the interior and paint...

PM me for more details. Unbeatable paint job for the price....

Nice paint John. Did they disassemble it for you or did you do it yourself before painting? What did they remove when painting?
