It will be the original color two tone Silver and Charcoal Silver like the model. The car was black when I got it but the codes are 07m/13U if I remember correctly.

[QUOTE]Here is where I stand now.
My hat goes off to Markus_P, who has a awesome project going on that always encouraged me to keep going and to Rhys who has keep in touch with me every step of the way..Thanks guys :seeya :seeya
Here is where I now stand getting ready to take another big step


Hey Neil, it means very much to me that you wrote this words :sad:
It touches my heart....
Really it´s great that you think about me and my project and it makes me proud that I´m the one who motivates you.
After all we´ll have to make a comparison which vette turned out better :D
I know how much work is includet to restore a vette like you do, and my hat goes off to you because I guess you do not have as much time as I have to play around with your hotrod.
So, keep on wrenching, and be sure that I´ve always an eye on you, at the end I don´t wanna miss something that you´ve done and I have forgoten to do :crazy: Hey am I envious ? :jester haha

Chris,
It is a deal. I will go through all my stuff from the rebuild and send it to you. I know you can relate to the process of tearing everything down and figuring out how to put it back. Fact stands that you really know your stuff because your vette looks like a million dollars and mine is still in pieces. You are the MAN!!!!!!!! :smash: :smash:
I am going to make a sound track here soon of the motor. I get chills everytime I fire it up ;)
