YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! COLOUR!!!!!!!
They phoned me late today....seems the booth was free and the painter was keen to paint it....
Even the panel shop owner is impressed with the colour choice.
Without further delay.....the shell - freshly painted.
Is that cool, or what? The pearl in the paint really shows off under the lights of the booth - I can't wait to see this in the sun. And this is just "off the gun".

Hung around this afternoon...heres some more panels, fresh off the gun. I hope they'll be fitting the doors up tomorrow.....
Love this colour.....the camera just doesn't do it justice. Its incredibly "green"...deep jade metallic, sliding to a mint pearl depending on the viewing angle and the light. In some lights, it looks almost black.

Thanks for the build thread. You have done a great job and I have picked up a few good ideas for my 72 bird. Love the fact that your not putting a T/A spoiler on it like everyone else does.
P.S. What is the red car in the background?Last edited by vcho455; 02-16-2012 at 08:45 PM. Reason: Add PS

Only spoiler I'm using is a satin black factory front spoiler (entre section) due to these cars being notorious for getting air under the nose at speed. I wanted the car to show off the basic design shape without all the T/A spoilers.
The red car is a 72 Holden HQ Monaro coupe with a Holden Statesman (twin headlight / twin grill) nose on it....slightly damaged by a car transporter letting it roll into something.Regards,

Mate I've just read the whole thing. Amazing job. Hopefully next time I'm in Sydney I'll see it around.
The colour is awesome too. Love it!

Slowly but surely you will see it come together before your eyes. That gave the push to get to the end. I am sure it will have the same effect for you.
