I passed on reading this thread some time ago, because it was lengthy.

Today was my brithday, and treated like royalty all day, so I started at the beginning and have been mesmerized to this very point!

Most of you know that I am an asshole purist, but that ends with this six. It's been built the way one would be built today. The craftsmanship is truely remarkable. The focus, from the beginning, is really inspiring. Devotion to the focal point is unreal, yet Andy is more than willing to get the input of experts.

From the early search for correct NOS parts to now, the final paint, is impressive. We all know that this is a no cost spared resto of what many would have junked years ago. It'll be worth its wieght in gold when finished.

The metalwork is next to none.

Extreme job Andy! I love it, but it should be red.

Andy,

I just read through the whole thread yesterday. Comparing the pictures of the car at the beginning to now, it's amazing how far this car has come along. Excellent attention to detail and such dedication. You and Kent should both be very proud and happy with the results. I had to show this thread to my wife, especially the pictures of what you started with. She then sat down and read the entire thread. The 3 of us met in Ouray and chatted briefly (looking over your car) the morning everybody pulled out of town. We're looking forward to watching it all come together!

Thanks!

From the beginning to now is one helluva transformation!! I love the color. Tell Pat to kiss your bootyshake.gif beer.gif I do understand why some would think original is best but so few are left original at this point. One day I hope to find a good survivor and take it back to original but until then Rock on! It looks great!

Thanks everyone!!!!!!

This was a big weekend for the car. After paint cure time the color sanding and polish will happen and back home for assembly aktion035.gif I cant thank Kent from Auto Art Customs enough for all his efforts to get the car to this point and prep the car to get it back into #29 Canary yellow again the way it left the factory.

Again, Thanks from Kent and I for the great comments.

I hope you meant this with tongue-in-cheek. I gave plaudits to the entire undertaking & believe it one of the most fantastic sixes out there. I am merely partial to Bahia Red.

If this was Pat's car I'm sure he would do one of two things, sell it for a red one or give in and paint it factory Canary yellow. I'm beginning to wonder if my love for Yellow has you guy's thinking it wasn't yellow originally but it was.

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm...

I wanna see it painted black, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah

Hmm, hmm, hmm...
