    I am so glad the owner decided to go back with the original color. This car will be gorgeous. Keep up the good work Adam.

    Made some real progress in the last week. Still lots of stuff to acquire to move forward.

    Undercarriage is getting some detail work. Once I get the rear ended detailed, it goes back in and Gardner exhaust goes on.

    Finally getting this thing back on the ground. Gardner exhaust went on easy as usual. Next up I think will be installing fenders.

    LF fender is on. Right side will require some “work” to the core support, as it was repaired before I got it. And the headlight section is bent. Can’t tell if you’re just looking at it, but nothing lines up on that edge.

    After beating the core support mercilessly, the right fender fits.

    That color really pops! If people saw these colors when they were new, they might understand why people bought colors like Lime Mist, Vedero Green, and Burnished Saddle. What’s the story on the collonade next to it?

    It’s a 74 Stage1 Suncoupe. Needed some work on the sunroof mechanicals and a complete new headliner. It’s got a stout big block with headers.
