I have to admit, the paint sure made it more fun going down the street. I will also confess that I hired a guy to do a relativly inexpensive paint job that looks great fron a little distance but I was a little disapointed that I had not stepped up to a better job. That was then and now, after several door and rock dings, I am so very happy with it just as it is and wouldn't do it any different. It's a driver and if it were nicer I would be over protective.kristoj wrote:rlux4 wrote:We've seen and admired your car on IAP's home page. It's the same color combo I had in 1980 (mine was a '79) when I got married. Two weeks after I sold it the guy had it painted dark brown! Personally I think that color is gorgeous.
Welcome to the forum, good luck tracking down other owners in your area.

I was thinking the same thing as Ron immediately when I saw that picture. I even showed my wife that picture from the IAP web site last year as the benchmark for how I want my car to eventually look. Welcome to the site! I have owned my car for a year now, but like you, I have spent most of my time under it getting the mechanicals completed sorted out. Can't wait to do a full respray so it is a shiny as yours. Perhaps next year...
BTW, I'm from Columbus originally so I can make fun of you weather up there
