Not this time friends...I already have a backup color. It's the shade of a Tampa bay Buc's football helmet.

Is this it?

Just so we are clear,Kevin, the DARKER Pontiac color is still my first choise(the lighter shade was not it)! so if you can get that paint code, that will be the one. My fall back color is the helmet color.
Do you think a little pearl would be attractive, anyone???

I am very glad that I chose Kevin to do my car. and he is also finishing all the odds and ends, that seem to suffer in quality, when you really just want to get it done. Which is the possition I was in when he picked up the car.

I really just have access to the internet most of the day, no matter where I am or what I'm doing' I have several at home, one in the garage, work...so I can get online whenever I want to and check the forum. It just so happens that I can get on fairly often.

It is amazing how much crappy previous body work is typicaly found on these cars when they are first stripped down.
You've got that right...I was shocked to see how many stress cracks on mine were filled with Bondo. Thanks Bubba!
