Dave - It Looks Great! Who in Ft Wayne did the paint job? What paint brand & color was used? How much $$ did the paint job set you back?

The color is GM Torch Red,the same color that is used on the Corvette.I spent last summer working on the body at my son-in-law's brother's shop in New Haven In.In return for time spent at his shop helping out on his cars he painted the body.Without this "equity labor " I could have had easily a thousand wrapped up in it plus the paint,primer etc.,etc.This was one of the few times that something didn't cost 10 times more than I figured.Even with his help (he had worked on fiberglass before) there are some spots on the body that need re-done but that will happen after I get it on the road,maybe a winter project

What Year Are The Tail Lights And Did You Have The Base Of The Lights Chromed? Man That Red Is Bright! Idon't Think I Have Seen It That Bright Before. The Red That Is.

Sprayed the shroud with a "rattle can" to come close to the body color but still provide a little contrast,probably should have gone the powdercoat route.The lights are '62-67,the bases were chromned.If you use this style stick with the original reflectors,the aftermarket ones are pretty cheesy.
