Guys, the only thing better than seeing Chucks car on the computer screen is to have seen it in person. It truly is the definition of attention to detail.

A little more progress to report.  Both doors and all glass are installed, including the just finished windshield.  Took the deck lid off to buff it out again as my painter friend isn't happy with it.  It goes into the trailer tomorrow and off to get the convertible top installed on Tuesday.

 Chuck, it looks fantastic you are making great progress. And the red convertible looks great sitting next to it :thumbsup:
 My red (Shuman) GS is now waiting to get into the Body Shop for final body work & paint. The shop has several vintage cars that they need to paint before the GS can go in so I'm playing the waiting game ..  :icon_scratch:

 That car is looking better than any that ever rolled off the assembly line. You did very well finding a guy to talk into the paint work. You can not find any shops around here that do that level of quality unless they work at home. Everyone is too busy with insurance repairs to put the time into a whole car. This will be one of the nicest in existence when it is completed. A lot of guys watch the restoration shows on TV, but they never show anyone that is capable of doing a correct restoration that actually uses the right stuff and this type of craftsmanship.

Very Nice looking! That white top really makes the green stand out. Good contrast of colors. The white looks glorious when new.
