Another 69 383S this one in B7/B5

Gerald, that's going to look SUPER SWEET with the white 383 sport stripe!!!!!
I believe the sport stripe really make a huge difference!! Just like my MODTOP it sets you apart from the others.

Or my black notch with a RED 383 sport stripe(original paint and stripe)
Or my T5 notch with a black 383 sport stripe.
 
Thank for the compliments BB-Dave....

I have owned this car since 1985 it had some ugly Blue Ford/Lincoln color on it when purchased that looked like it was done with a paintbrush. I Repainted in it in 87 to A4 and blacked out the interior.

It always had a green tinge and I was never happy with it. Life brought changes and it set from 89 to 2012 in various storage (10 years outdoors and 14 more in a 10x20). Had I know how nice the B7/B5 could look I would have done that in 1987.

I may have a question or two to ask you in the near future about some particulars to these cars.

Thanks again..
 
Cut and Buff Completed. Stripes should be next and maybe she (Calypso) will be home before the end of month.
 
A few more pics and finally out of the body shop.........

One step closer to comming home. Been a long 2 years...

The B7 almost looks like B5 with some of the lighting.
 
Sex...on rollers--that's a beautiful paint job, and going to be a drooling pretty car

That is going to be sweet when you get it back together ...

Still amazes me how the factory could put that thing together in less than a day.
