Silver and Red interior. That is going to be one beautiful car. More pix please.

Jody

The car looks great!, who's silver did you use? - Nice job Rich

Your car look fantastic, great color combo!!

Since Chris is out of town camping and i designed the car and picked the colors, I figured I could chime in and answer for him. It's VW Reflex Silver.

It's been a long road but you have to be busting to see it in paint! I'm stoked for you, Buddy!

wow! that is an awsome interior/exterior color combo!

Camping??? I'd be sleeping in the car if I were in his shoes right now! I love the color selection. Can't wait to see the interior!

Great job. looks killer. :cheers:

Dang! :wow:

Silver and red is my favorite combo. Looks awesome!

Sweet, REFLEX Silver!!! We have been using that for years now. Cant go wrong with that !
Car looks nice !
More pics when you can !

Good looking project car!

Silver and red is now of my favorite color combos second only to black and red. Can't wait to see it together.

Very nice.....
What were the wheel/tire specs?

Turned out great Chris. What about the stripes, did we decided to ax them? I'll get some latest picks of my motor soon.

Looks great Chris! Did you shoot it yourself?

I hope to park next to you at the GG's show next year!!

Looks awesome Chris! :thumbsup:

Looks great, more pics please! :thumbsup:

Striking color combo!! What about the hockey stripe? Congrats on getting it back. Assembly is always the best part!! Keep us updated.

Chris, nice to see it painted. Wish I were at that stage. Is that the Mercedes Meridium silver? Looks really good with the red.

Rushforth 19x10 on a 295 Rear and 18x8 on a 245 up front- It is mini-tubbed- but i have lots of room for a 315 down the road

Thanks for all the compliments guys- I just got back into town and wanted to go about 200 different directions putting the car back together- but settled on starting with the Dynamat install- Chris

Still have to put the stripe on- scuff the clear on the doors and fenders and lay out the stripe- Chris

Great color and sweet rims.

I love the whole combo :thumbsup:

Paint came out AWESOME!!!
LOOKING GOOD!:thumbsup: :cheers:

Chris
car looks great, I also agree with the silver red combo, I almost whent red on my interior but finally decided red on red was just to much.

Silver '68 Camaros are my favorite. :D

Congrats.:thumbsup:

Lookin Good Chris. How are you going to put the inner fenders in?

whos valve covers are those? are the coils underneath? please let me know
car looks awesome

Those look Katech valve covers: http://www.katechengines.com/street_...tail.php?id=14

I have to pull the fenders back off.. which is ok because i need to reclear them with the hockey stripe

Jake, those are katech- Rupp sent me that direction and as far as coils go i'm going to do something like Jody did here:

As far as the build goes i understand way cars are DRY BUILT BEFORE PAINT- things that i thought should go right together fit like crap

but some stuff is engineered awesome

ATS - Detroit Speed stuff fits amazing- repop trim, etc from overseas is VERY frustrating to deal with...Chris
