Thanks for following along ISP!
Thanks John!
I'm getting my little hobby shop all set up to bring her home here in a matter of days. (Just sealed the floors, painted, put up shelving, lightning and cabinets, etc.) We just moved into a new place so things have been a mess. It's been a stressful couple of months to say the least.
I deserve a break from all the moving and home improvement stuff and there is nothing like the therapy of putting my stang together this Spring. I'm soooo looking forward to this!

I did some cropping work on a few of the latest photos and brought back one of the originals for comparison.
From this...
To this!
(keep in mind it has not been cut and polished yet)

Definitely glad to inspire someone! You all inspire me with your comments and your support.
So I'm guilty of false advertising here. I just went and looked at the car in person and it looks NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURES. It looks a lot darker, just like the picture of the Honda I posted prior. I LOVE IT! I have to say it looks wimpy in the pictures above...lol. There is no blue or grey in the paint AT ALL but the pics almost look turquoise.
Here's what the color actually looks like and it gets even darker in the shade.

The paint came out just great, I couldn't be happier with the guys down at Red Star. I think I might keep the wheels after all, they look great with the paint.
Thanks everyone for all your enthusiasm and support. I still have a lot left to do. Need to assemble her and put all the trim on, weather-stripping, interior, detail the undercarriage, engine bay, brakes, suspension, motor mods, etc.
The fun now begins!!
