Haha, good one! He explained to me why, but honestly, I was so exhausted and nervous today I already forgot. I think it was that it bought him some time for the rest of the car if he did the hood separately.

Years ago, when I painted my 74 dustpan, I had to paint it outside. Right after I started to paint it, the neighbor kitty-corner from me, started burning trash in a burn barrel in his back yard. Murphys Law right there. You were very fortunate to have a good friend to spray it in a professional booth.

I used to have the 71 side stripe and the 70 tail panel stripe. If I do it I will probably go with the 71 side stripe again. I will probably wait a little bit before I put stripes on, I might like the clean look too. Time will tell!

as well as could be expected under the circumstances. I guess it was ok, just not great. I changed the exterior color. The original color was this bile green. It reminded me of the color you'd be puking if you drank about a case of Rainier Ale. Funny thing, If I ever get around to repainting it, I think I'd put it back to the original color. It doesn't bother me like it did then, and it was an unusual color that you hardly ever see, today.
 
looks great!! sure looks likes the OEM green met (F5 ?), in the pics. met green is a really pretty color in fresh paont, not so much so when its 35 yrs old!!

current project of mine is 72 duster, orig F5 but she loves blue .... so B5 it will be!! ha
 
Hello. I promised to return with more info on the paint. The brand is "Glasurit" with the code 6*11*13.00. There is no name I'm afraid, we only had the paint chip with the code on the backside and the brand to go by.
 
It looks great, I was never a big fan on a Green but this will for sure change my mind about Green. It looks fantastic.

I have been working on the interior. But some of the trim is now back together.

That is a nice looking green.
 
I am the guy who thinks it's all about the accents from the factory on these cars.... But after looking at the hue of the green and the slots it looks great as is. You nailed it on this green....

Super great job you should be very proud of yourself. I wish I was still able to do all my own work. All the best, Brian
