I do things... Group: Members Posts: 7,809 Joined: 2-December 03 From: Napa, Ca Member No.: 1,413 Region Association: Northern California	Tomorrow it all starts. Gonna break it all down and start the body work. I hope to have it DONE by next Friday. Brandon at Altissimo Restoration (707-253-paint) will be doing the bulk of the work. I get to do the disassembly/reassembly, welding, rear flare work, sanding, some sanding and more sanding. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Car will be factory color light ivory with bright metalic red rally stripes and the 7"steel wheels to match stripes. I'll be filling the side marker and antenna holes. Rear ducktail spoiler will go from black to white and the targa top will be smooth painted with the stripes over the top of both. Any advice?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) The pinstripe border is something I've always liked. Nice touch up on the mock-up, BTW Keep it coming (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) KT
