    I don't login that often so I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Just finished all the body work and am waiting to scrape up enough for paint. It's a labor of love, for sure. Are you finished with yours?

    1968 Need Feedback on Restoration Plans - Be Gentle

    I've looked through almost all of the galleries and garages and have been unable to find many pictures of the underside of the cars. That being said, I was wondering how many people painted theirs the correct Red Oxide vs. Satin Black. Would love to hear the pros and cons to each. The only...

    1968 Need Feedback on Restoration Plans - Be Gentle

    Along that thread, were you pleased with the paint? I was considering making it more metallic or pearl, regardless of the color. On a quick note, I have an MCA question. I had to replace some of the metal on my car with new metal. Not sure how they would blend the seam for the floor pans...

    I have a Highland Green C-Code that I have nearly completed all the metal work on. Next is body work and paint. I have the new GT/CS Recognition guide and it is incredibly thorough and a beauty. My name isn't in the registry either but I get to own the car so I'm not too worried about it...
