I've always said once you make a decision on a purchase, JUST QUIT LOOKING! :lol:

Now that I see your last post, your wanting something darker.

That's a really cool color. Probably a bit flashy for an old guy like me lol.

The macadamia brown will look good on the Chevelle, Jody. Good choice.

Loving the choice of brown, don't see a lot of the BMW's in that shade but when you do it looks great. With the black and polished bits I'm thinking it's going to look great! Now about the interior color....


Let me know what you end up with for a shop chair. I just picked up a lift with a 11'6" ceiling and will need to come up with something. :cheers:

I'll let you know Dan. At 11'6" you can probably stand under your car. My last shop was 12' and even at 6'5" that was enough for me to stand under the car, and that was not at the top rung on the lift either.

The BMW color is great, flops to a bronze in the sunlight, still looks like an ‘old car’ color, love it!

My garage in Az has a 11'4" ceiling. I'm 6'2" and can stand up under cars on the lift.

Thanks Charley, that's been my experience as well. Dan should be good to go with his beautiful property.

Thanks for the info fellas. My vehicle situation is a lil different than most on here though. I’m 4wd swapping a 69 F series Ford and while it won’t be huge, it is a bit taller than a lowered muscle car.

I’ll keep working on the domestication of the wife and see what we can get done. Like her father, she’s built for smaller spaces. :D

First two pics are my rendering with the modified color I worked out. To me it's very very close to this BMW color. I love it. I actually saw one in a parking lot today, and from every angle, shade and sun it looked great. I added a few pics of this color on different vehicles to the bottom.

I know brown is not a popular color, but I love it. And I plan on keeping this car forever, hopefully I can stick to that. Thanks for all the suggestions and pm's, you guys have been great.

Everyone said the same when we painted my dad’s 57 Brown. Now everyone loves it.

No updated pics yet, but I've heard through the grapevine that Jim has the bodywork done and is on his third round of blocking. He'll wait until the weather warms up a bit, but should be ready to spray color in 3-4 months. :thumbsup:

2026 the year the Chevelle steals the show. Who's doing the interior?

Thanks Jacob. Mostly TMI; seats, dash pad, and door panels.

Slick & nice gaps!

The interior and body work look great. Wish I was that far along.

Hope to see more updates on this one.

Time for an update :secret:

camcojb 03-20-2026 07:11 PM
No new pics from the painter yet. Last month the bodywork was done and he was on the second round of blocking the car. He plans to shoot it in a couple months when it's warmer.
