The painter just delivered the GT clone and she is stunning in person ! I can't believe how great this paint job came out. Berber yellow same as when she left the factory in 1975. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Now I just have to install all these parts laying in the garage,shed,bedrooms and closets ! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!

The roof is also painted yellow but I'm going with gloss black on the bumpers,rocker covers and front valance. Kind of a yellow jacket look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Next Friday the glass dude is installing a new green tint windshield and gluing in the rear window. I will add pics as more parts get installed. Did I tell you I'm excited !!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Sorry if this is a repeat question but what engine goes in? I notice the cut-out in the firewall.

and your black and yellow paint scheme sounds perfect

Today I pulled out the dash pad and installed new dash foam and vinyl. Took me about 4-5 hours but well worth it. Man those dash pad screws are a pain in the ass to get to behind the gauges (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I ordered the foam pad and vinyl from AA and it was very good quality. I had to cut to fit but I made a newspaper template and it fits fine. Now I just have to install the lower windshield vinyl molding and I'm ready for the glass guy. It feels great to be installing parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Rick, It's got to be great feeling having the car back home. Maybe someday I can get that same feeling. Have fun putting the jigsaw puzzle back together.

TC your day is coming and I know you'll be just as excited as I am. Getting the windshield in will be a big step forward in getting her weather tight.

No kidding where the hell do all these parts go? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) But it does feel good putting parts back onto the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
