Hey Paul! Thanks for posting some updated pictures. I tried to post some last night but could not get them to post.

Wow, the car looks fantastic. I love the green. Are you planning on covering up the trunk with upholstery or leaving it natural to show off all the fabrication?

Nothing fancy in the trunk just a small chunk of carpet cut and trimmed to fit the bottom portion. Overall trying to keep the car pretty stock looking with small modern touches. That is one reason I kept with the green interior, it was original. Now just trying to sort out interior to keep with original and modern mix and keep it green.

Thanks for the comments and glad you like it!!

Thanks Ron!! I never really thought the car would turn out this nice! It has taken along time and some bumps along the way but all working out. I have got a lot of good ideas, advice, and motivation on here from all the great builds and members.

My goal is to have it all assembled and driving by mid may so I can let my daughter drive me to her graduation in it! Then enjoy it all summer long. That might be lofty goals but it only takes time and

Wow, how Awesome !! Love the color. What color did they use on the roll cage? Is it the same exterior color with satin clear coat. Also, do you know what color they used in the engine compartment and on the radiator support? Works well with the green.

The roll bar and all the interior is the same green as the exterior but flat cleared. As for the engine compartment I don't know the name of the color right now but will find out for you or you can send a message/call Paul at dutchboys. I can tell you my goal with it was to not have an all black engine bay. I decided on a color to match the wheel centers pretty close but flat clear again. Then black accents as far as bolt on items. The sub frame is black though.

I really like how it has turned out so far. Thanks and glad you like it!

Car looks awesome. No surprise, given your choice of shop to do the work!

It looks subtle yet menacing at the same time. Flawless attention to details.
