Thanks James. I'm trying just to see if I can.
Daytona yellow is always black. I did it wrong the first time. I hope Bruce doesn't mind me using one of his pictures

That's one of Dave Beem's pictures you posted. I saw you also posted some on Norcam's. Neat. Thank you
Joe

Thank you. I got one of the repops when they first came out.

The car will look nothing like this picture when it's done this time....Joe

No problem...I can't believe that I took pics of your car way back when

I must have had good taste back then...LOL

That was 1982 or 1983.
From the pictures I've seen you take, I would say yes, you have good taste

Thought I would post some pictures. This is a hobby & not a job so sometimes I don't seem to get a lot done. Doors are part way together & heater-a/c back together. That was a little tricky with only one person. I had a bad regulator which I was able to find thanks to this group. Starting on the 28th or so I will start putting emblem, handles, locks etc back together. The smell of new paint is almost gone from the garage....Joe

Looks amazing Joe! Can't wait to see it all back together.

Fantastic work Joe!

No new photos for everybody. Been working with side glass & regulators. Found out the left regulator will actually bolt into the right hand door so I had to fix that. Adjusting the glass is time consuming. Installed 1/4 louvers, door locks, & door handles. That little bit adds to the color. Next is to do the trunk spatter. I will try the can I have & hope for the best. More pictures to follow....Joe
