Looks great! I'm stuck waiting on my '69 Daytona Yellow roadster. The guy does greet work, just not a lot of it at a time. Good things come to those that wait I guess. Post pics as you make more progress.

My wife picked out the color and I think it looks great. My 70 C10 is orange so we will have lots of color in the garage

Do you mind if I stop by to see your car(s) when I finally do a shakedown cruise?

I like my black 74 a lot, but I LOVE that bright yellow! I have talked about repainting mine yellow more than once, but everyone says NO! Leave it black.

Paint is very far down the priority list, so I have time to ponder it...

I can't wait to see the finished product!

Stop by anytime doorgunner, I travel quite a bit overseas so give me a heads up.

In other news, Seat covers done, I wanted a bit of contrast so I had the guys put ostrich on the inset portion of the seat. Nothing too gangsta just right imo
