Update #3 Lol

I'm painting it a solid color now. This is it, shaved mirrors and trim and maybe a cowl hood! I'm digging it!

I love your factory two tone, maybe just repaint it that way?

Yeah...after going back and forth and back in forth I've decided factory two tone it is! Might change the colors slightly but putting it back close to original. Man its hard to decide what you want to do!  :o

If ya don't mind my nickels worth.... I like the bottom choice - I tjust think that is so awesome. But really, either way is very good.

Mind if I ask how big the budget is on this project?

I know that feeling. I could choose to paint my truck any color and I had decided on a color multiple times then at the parts store buying paint I changed my mind again and went with a totally different color than I had planned. :o

Budget = no more than 3k

I have a buddy that works for a body shop that is going to do most of it for me. We are doing it in my shop so this will be a backyard paint job!

I haved picked these colors ( for now)

I think this will all work out very well for you - $3k should more then cover the costs involve. I've painted three cars in my garage. Sure, it's alota work and I've found out that it is possible to rent a paint booth in the San Francisco Bay Area - which I would rather do because the over spray can get crazy.

Good luck with the project and have fun - it can be a rather involved learning experience.

You know I have just decided to just leave it alone and fix some minor mechanical issues and less cost things on it. I really would like to paint it but its alot of cash that I just don't need to spend right now! Put a new carb on last week and some new fender trim, just going to keep it original looking with a drop and wheels. I like that look anyways... Kinda like it not being PERFECT.
