Also, my brother was going to go with a metallic purple. Now he changed his mind, he wants Candy Apple Red with ghost flames. So, I spent a while on the phone making sure we were getting all of the right supplies.

Sounds like you are making some good progress! I think candy apple red and some very subtle ghost flames would be bad ass! Make sure to post up some updated pics when you can

Thanks, it is a solid car. Just a little more bondo then expected but I guess its better than rust or rot! Its still in progress but I havent taken pics in a while. We are having a little hood issue slowing down the process. It will see some F-body meets this summer
