here are some new photos... after painting the car in the winter, I finally got to bring it outside in the sun. it looks great for a hillbilly paint booth and having the flu! I still have to polish the hood and wax the car out. man... I never thought i would get this far. for those who don't know, i replaced the roof,full quarters, tail, filler, dash top, door skins and finally painted it myself. I don't think ill do that again. currently iam working on the interior. nuts!! i quess..

That color looks great!! One of my '70 GTO's was almost exactly that color. If it'd had a black interior, I would probably still have it. What color interior are you going with?

I might have asked this before. Is that Nightshade Green? I use to own a '68 GTO convertible that color. But the paint was in bad shape, so it's true nature wasn't seen.

I think he mentioned it was Cypress Green?
Kind of looks inbetween Night Shade and Verdoro, but in any case, it looks Great! One to be very proud of for sure!
Great work, keep the pix coming!
Brett!
