White - my wife's favorite color on a car! Looking great, Donnie. That grass in the background is looking 'springtime green' [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Wow, (I am sooooo not bored with this project)

The vinyl top is outstanding, love the seams in line with the body lines.

Great, can't wait for NOCC.

Didn't see any Chevelles in Japan... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

OK, I promised Donnie I would post these pics for him. I finished his driveshaft finally. I had Quanta restore it, then installed new Made in USA Precision U Joints and striped it. I put the stripes back exactly as I found them on the drive shaft...not perfect. I took measurements of distance and width of each one and noted the colors.






Wrapped up and ready to go back!
