Love what you two are doing on all your projects, and your choice for a "filler car" till you get the projects done.

You should know better!! This car is in Florida still, not in my garage. I wish we could have done the install but when we bought the engine it happened to be in Florida so it just worked out that they put it in so we can transport it home easier. Plus they didn't want us to have to pull the nose off and jeopardize the paint doing it ourselves later on.

Our "filler" project is what's keeping us sane while she's still away! The other 68 is a basket case, we haven't touched it since last fall. That will be a long term project unfortunately.

Paint color

Wow long thread lol looks great. I love that color.

What color did you finally decide on? Was it the pro spray? I can't seem to find any of the pepper Gray codes. I wanna do my fastback in the same color but they vary. Any help please? I'm painting in 3 days

Thank you, yes we went with the Pro Spray. If you have a jobber in your area have him match it to the Dupont code 44490. If you can't find one or don't have one in your area let me know and I can give you the number of the guy I ordered it from.

I posted this in the wrong thread. You have two fast moving projects.
