So I believe this is wrapping up the body work on the car.
"Wrapping" up the body work..."
A ha! Michael, you've been misleading us all along and it's not getting painted at all!
Gold leaf wrap, perhaps?

Whoo hoo! Congratulations Cario. I had a feeling it would be Irish.
OK- the cats out of the bag. Yes it is Irish Green. My last Six was Irish Green and my wife and I both loved that color.
Great color choice for a 914 Michael.
BINGO! My favorite color. Too cool.
Interior color please!

I appreciate that guys. The interior is black. I know cork would look cool too, but I am sort of recreating my last Six.
Looking just fantastic !

I have a matched set of deep sixes being completed by Harvey Weidman- factory finish. I want a set of Gas Burners, I have always loved those, but they will have to wait until the car is complete and in my garage. My focus is to get the car complete before I buy spare set of wheels.

I'll bet you're doing a little happy dance now that you've finally seen a wee bit of color applied to the car?
That is really a breathtaking color you've got going on there.
Good job!
Well done!

Loved Justin Fischer's (I think that's his last name) Irish Green 914/6...i remember the sound of it drving to/from an east-coast cookout back in the early 00's.
That's kind of what made me lust after the sound of a /6, even though I had a hot/carb'ed 2.0 with a triad at the time.

Any green is good with me. Love it.
You're that much closer to actually driving it!!
Kent has done a wonderful job (again) not only on your car, but in showing the progression of work performed in pictures. I'm sure it takes a lot of time and patience to post all the photos that have been generated from these exquisite 914 restorations he does. I wish my black car was "in queue" with him.
He will have people in line for his services for the rest of his life.
Bravo, my hat is off to all involved.

Michael,
Maybe you can pin stripe it in gold, or maybe some gold body side molding..

What is your planned schedule now?
First date night planned for when?
I have no planned schedule. When it is together it will be done. It is moving quickly and I see no reason that it will stop.
Great choice, one of my personal favourite colours. Also means the torrid 
times are receding further into into the far distance every day
Everyone is going to really enjoying seeing this car come together
