The section under the console door. It would look really cool Torch Red too,, especially near the water fall pieces..

Looks great Gary!! Glad you got it back and you were pleased...

I had the same thoughts. I might attempt to do it myself or I may call Mike and see what it would run.

You know Mike has plenty of Torch Red paint. I bet it would not be that much cause you really wouild just paint the side and rear area of the piece. You would not paint the inside of it...

The radio bezel sure looks real shiny!!!

I have pretty much everything to do it myself. I would need to purchase some sand paper. Other than that it would be a piece of cake. Then again, with my luck it might take a month.

Gary,

You better not leave it unattended at the next Cruise In. The Silver Fox might make a trade while you're not looking!
