Don't forget the Mexican blanket on the back side. BTW, I love that car.

I just saw a picture of that car tonight and was thinking how cool it is, That is a color that if you showed it to somebody and told them your painting a car that color they would shake there head,, but dam it looks good when it on a vehicle,,

Federale is cool. Without seeing the leather and paint swatches I visualize it working nicely......maybe a little darker/more brown/less red tint depending on the paint shade and contrast to your eye.

Cool - Pics on Pinkees website and possibly my monitor made it look like it had a cinder tint to it.

"If there isn't a progress report WEEKLY -- then you're either out of money and owe the shop --- or you're in the wrong shop....

So...... Where's the updates, because I know neither of the above fits your situation!"

Pinkee's actually sent me an email saying that my project was being neglected due to my buddy - Bruce Levin - project being in rush mode suddenly. They asked if that was okay and I said sure. It won't be neglected for very long. That's the difference between a good honest shop and a BS shop... these guys (Eric) actually notified me WHY. I didn't have to ask.
