I am really overwhelmed by all your replies and kind words! Thankyou all for being a part of this! Now that it's finished I'm not sure what to do with my time. Anyone seen a basket case C2 anywhere around the Chicago area? :jester

2 years? I'm jealous! It's been 5 years for me so far.... This weekend the paint guy is picking her up for paint, then the bumpers will be sent off to get rechromed... new bumpers and wheels will be waiting for her when she comes back all nicely painted. Then there's the fuel injection, steeroids and interior install... hopefully the results will look as good as yours when I post a topic like this one soon!

Great job & beautiful paint! :thumbs:

My '73 is going to be almost the same color (I opted for Magnetic Red instead of Anniversary). Looking forward to picking it up from the paint shop next week...
