Default the paint

few pics of progress...



in the paint boot:







yes, it's green....finally i decided to paint it in a near original color, but i wanted something darker than the lime green, so after a few look around i choose this green (which is much nicer in real world than on pictures!!!)





for now the car is almost nearly done

i still have the bed to paint with a Protech black textured bed paint, i received some ordered parts like the chrome bed moldings, the dash pad, the door panels, arm rests, headliner,....



concerning the interior, the next step is to fit the headliner, and to have the seats reupholstered with black vinyl to suits the panels...

during the paint process i had to replace the front hood as mine was in very poor condition on its top part (some childs must have jump on it in its past!!).
Fortunately i found one near Rotterdan (130miles away from my home) for a little 180$ (150€) wich is not expensive considering ordering one in USA.
By the way i also picked a tilt steering wheel floor shift for my Buick project for 100$....
