Finally got the car back from the paint shop a little over a week ago. The car is now getting close to final look. I thought I would share a quick peek at the car. I still have to install the side stripes mirrors and the remainder of the interior, but at least it looks like a car now. More importantly, it is driveable again!!!

Sorry for the overcast picture... I just could not wait until the sun came out.

Thanks!!!

Considering where mine started, anything is possible. Tons of rust and bondo...

It really did not look that bad at the start, but the PO left me many land mines...

Here is an early picture...

Absolutely stunning, and this is from the guy who doesn't dig shelby stripes much. You should be proud, car is sweet looking, I love the color.

that looks really similar to the blue I want to use [blue/silver two-tone]. I am leaning towards the blue from the Porsche 911s a few years back. looks pretty damn close.

and thanks for the 'before' pic! I like seeing nice cars, but it's even better to see where they came from!

The blue is 2004 Electron Blue. The white is GM Bright White. The blue looks incredible in bright light. When I have a sunlight picture, I will post it also. Here is a sample of what the paint does in the sun...
