Thanks for the compliments guys, I am pretty excited that I am starting to make some progress. I am going to "visit" the shell today to check on the progress. I believe he is a little behind, but he is supposed to have the shell totally torn down to the skeleton (roof support structure). The skeleton goes to the blaster to be media blasted and then primed on Monday. "Supposed" to have the shell back next weekend. It takes him 40-50 hours to rebuild an entire shell.
Paint will be '69 Trans Am paint scheme (I have all of the T/A body stuff: hood, rear wing, fender scoops) but not the traditional white/blue. Exterior color will be applied to the firewall, inner fenders, and rad support. The color combo will be 1 of the below:

For wheels I am considering 17" up front and 18" in the rear. Not sure of which wheel yet, but I want something that looks more traditional with a black center.
Your guys thoughts on colors and wheels would be appreciated. I need to make both of these decisions soon.
