man this is just all my favorite colors packed into one

[ST1G]

about a picture of both?

Both, and I expect an invite when it's time to light off that fun pack of fireworks.


Love the interior too, but I'm mostly focused on those fireworks.

[ak-]

Interior lookin' peanut butter. Glad it works so well with the color of the car.

We do need to get the door cards right though for Ryan because there was some miscommunication with the shop guys, but it'll be right since the 1600 needs to be all original.

Oh my fcuking fcuk this is amazing. Great builds man!

I have more updates but I'm too lazy to post them tonight.


Good things are coming. Florida car things.

Lol damn you guys. I just threw them in for a photo. I removed them and installed a set of Autoflug belts from my 73 polaris car. These seat belts actually work now so that's going to be nice...not dying. With the new(er) seat belts, I installed different receptacles and they are now oriented correctly.






The Florida has been painted and is in wet-sanding/buffing phase. My painter will apply the chip guard (Schutz) tomorrow and then repaint. Don't ask why he is doing it this way, but he is. At this point, I trust him.

The lighting is all fucky but it's really really ridiculously nice.







This will be a very nice car once completed.

Freah paint is the best. Sucks putting back together though cause you worry about every little thing that goes near the car.

Ryan, I think you need a burrito break. You seem to be irritated and making silly mistakes. We've come to expect a high caliber of things from you and those seat belt receptacles confirm my fear. Please. Get a burrito. For America.

Sincerely,

Simon

damn, I can't decide which color I like better. I think the Florida just won my heart over.

Thanks! It looks better than in the photos. The lighting was weird but it came out great.

shhh. Let's not bring reality into this. Only dreams.

Hey Simon, come save me from myself and let's get burritos together.

You and I are on the same page. This this is on a whole different level of what I expected. Look earlier in this thread to refresh your memory on what it looked like when I got the car. And appreciate how much rust repair and bodywork was done to get it here. It really is a thing of beauty. My guy whipped up his own panels if the ones I provided him weren't good enough.

i think nice weaves (style) would be nice for her. ;)
