That's pretty cool. My wife's the same way. She pretty much leaves me alone about my projects and doesn't bother me. All she says is, "As long as nothing around the house gets cut off (utilities) or gets repo'd, I don't care."

That's funny. My wife is the same way.

Time for an update on the 70 Chevelle since it has been quite a while since the last update. We started back on the car around the middle of the summer finishing up a lot of the small fab work and getting it ready for body & paint. We had to put it on hold for a short time while we got 3 other builds painted and ready for SEMA. Once they were through the paint shop, we were able to get back into this project and hit the ground running. All of the body work and prep work was completed and it was readied for color. After some quick decision making, the owner and us both chose the same color to paint the car. That was probably the first time that has ever happened on the first shot! Color is always the hardest part of the build, but we were both on the exact same page this time. He was looking for a dark charcoal that still had some life to it. We sprayed out a few different test samples and all of us landed on a 2013 Audi color.

Enough talking... here are some shots of the paint.

It is a cool color that looks dark, almost black at some angles.

A close up to show some of the metalics in the paint that elegantly pop in the light.

We have some unique graphics that will be going on next to give the car some further detail. We have been playing with some tone on tone matte finishes with a small pop of bright color.
