I like F8 as well, although I like the F5 just a tad better. Plus, its closer to the original shade of TT1 on my '68.

That's what I'm thinking as well. I like the F8, but sometimes it looks a tad too dark. But I like the yellow thaty's on it now, and I wouldn't have to repaint the engine bay......I guess I'll worry about paint after I get the skins on.

Don't forget Dave, if you want a lighter color there's always F3 or F5!

I saw an F3 Frost Green Metallic RR years ago w/a black vinyl top and interior. That combo looked great! The F5 will look very nice as well.

Nothing really new, other than the spare tire bracket is in, and the right fender is stripped. Left side should get done on Wednesday or Thursday.

Steve, make sure they don't loose the pentastar holes on that fender

Re: And so it Begins....(Updated pg 27)

Well, the fender doesn't currently have it. Seems as it was filled over years ago. I gotta measure for the hole off of my uncle's car.

Steve it looks nice and straight

Re: And so it Begins....(Updated pg 27)

It sure seems to be, although it's kinda hard for me to tell in just the primer.

Thanks guys!

Re: And so it Begins....(Updated pg 27)

Well, i probably should've waited, but I figured now would be the time to paint her. Every year the state has "traffic grant" funding. We're paid OT to enforce traffic laws. So, I've been working my ass off since April. The last 3 checks I've gotten have had 28, 24, and 27 hours of OT. I'm pretty burned out now tho. Not quite sure how I'm pay for it... I still have about a $2k balance. Yikes! The good thing tho is I'm on vacation from now till July 16. Thankfully!

Don't let it discourage you. Concentrate on one thing at a time and work through it. It will go together faster than you think. Once you start seeing your progress it will motivate you all the more.

Re: And so it Begins....(Updated pg 27)

Thanks. I'll certainly try not to get to discouraged. There sure is a lot to do, and a ton more things ill have to buy at some point.
