Just got her back yesterday. Most of the trim/chrome pieces are on now. I was tearing when I first saw it. I also now have two front seats (still working on the rear) with seat belts and door panels, door handles and window knobs. The dash was also repainted.
Things left to do: radio, back seat, wiring the gauges, exhaust, wood steering wheel, and some misc. wiring issues and possibly a vintage air kit. All in no particular order.

Very nice! For me, the A/C would be last...it'll go without A/C.

Thanks everyone for the complements. I'm not sure what the name of the blue is. I saw it on a Chevelle at the shop where I was getting it done and I said I'll have that on this. And thats how it came out!!
I wasnt originally repainting it haha. Now I'm way over budget. The car was painted about 5 years ago and then sat in a garage moving from house to house while we were moving and I was at school
Long story short the car wouldnt start or anything so I never really saw the paint in the sun. Once I brought it in for the interior I saw nothing but orange peel and dirt under the paint. It was horrible.
I liked the color but I wasnt in love with it. If I was going to pay the money to have it all buffed out and clear coated it wasnt that much more (Still a lot) to repaint it to something I loved.
I couldnt go back to the shop who originally did it 5 years prior and say fix my paint (and they sucked anyway) so I had to bite the bullet. So now hopefully I'll sell my power seat and save up some more to finish the punch list
