Thanks! Not too worried about waiting for the seat covers, I'm a long way from that point right now. I do like the color of the stuff they've sent so far...That is a nice colour combo for sure. Looking good.

It was there for about a year. That includes the trip to the dipper for a month or so. I suppose it varies on how much work they have and type of car. My friends '67 camaro was a two month shorter stay. That was the original color for that car so I headed that direction but now that it's done, super happy I stayed with T5. Obviously it isn't exactly factory T5, base coat/clear coat with pearl added, so I'd call it a more modern T5. I disassembled everything when I took it down there, all panels were off, hinges removed there wasn't a nut, bolt or screw left, but I was more than happy to have them put panels back on. Figured if it got chipped it's already at the paint shop!
that looks scarey sitting that hi up on the trailer. glad you and the car made it home safely.Well. last weekend has came and went and all went well getting the car home. Was a little sketched with the dolly under it but it was fine. Took back roads and took it easy.

Will post some more metal work progress soon and some of the appurtenances that I've been slowly working on trying to have things ready for assembly. First full car resto so I'll have plenty of questions! When

It wasn't split when it was dipped, but given the stretched metal the shop had to split it to fix it correctly. They did shoot epoxy on it before it went back together so that's good.When they dip it do they split the hood ???
Totally agree! There were so many parts I thought I was going to clean up and re-use and now I have to rethink that. The glass thing really has me thinking. I have some good factory glass (no cracks, little to no chips, acid etch still there) but glass wears, just like everything else. My friend ordered all new glass with correct dates for his '70 challenger. I'll work on a few pieces then make the call.The paint is beautiful. Everything you add now...will make or brake the appearance, thus far. Good glass and trim are SO important.
Congrats on that beauty!
