Default I'm making some progress!!(pics fixed)

Here are some pics of the 66 I took tonight. We painted the door jambs and gave the roof it's first coat. I think the color is going to be just what I wanted. It's coming along nicely. I might actually be able to finally drive it this spring!

I am thinking the same thing about mine: "I might actually be able to finally drive it this spring!"

I hate to sound dumb, but I can not make out which color you are going for. The roof looks red but the door jambs look like some darker color. What color are you going for? (You don't have to answer, I'll wait until you post a picture of when it is completed and then I will realize how dumb it was.)

Have fun.

Not a dumb question. It's actually a kind've funny color. The darker color is what it really looks like, but when it gets a lot of light on it (like from the flash) it lightens out a bit. Plus the camera I was using is a piece of junk.

By the way, I should have it totally painted this weekend if everything goes as planned. Then I'll be able to show you exactly what it looks like. I'll remember to take the good camera this time!
