Default Progress Pics Orange 77
I'm getting it back together, got the new windshield in and the tires and wheels mounted. Got some small parts installed and trim painting. Still waiting on some parts but its coming along! Just thought I would post a couple of pictures. I think I like this color after all!

Very nice, I like that color it looks really good on it. Nice to see you stayed with the rallyes, old school like said earlier. It should look beautiful once all the trim is back on, nice job.

GM liked 'em orange, too...the '77 brochure has a three-page foldout of an orange car.

jlelec, is that a late '77 or did you fill in the alarm lock hole?

I got ambitious once, but then the commercial was over and I went back to watching the TV.

It must be a late 77, or either the moron that painted it white before I got it might have filled the hole. I need to check it out, I really haven't paid attention.
