Well.. Should have known that I could never accept someone elses work.. Rob came over and next thing you know the ENTIRE interior and dash were ripped out of the car.. I mean everything from guages to door glass. coated the entire floor area in POR-15.. (note: pictures would only scare you) later the interior will be treated to lots of dynomat and new glass (maybe power windows)
With everything off the car then why not paint it complete?

I was considering millenium yellow but its much darker than the current color so its going to be the same shade yellow with spiral grey stripes and dash. the paint job will be of the "pull off the fenders" type.. Notice all the notes written on the car
Should be gone for a month..
Oh, and here is why the front is sitting so high:

Engine is being dissasembled and checked out.. hot tanked then the block and heads will be powder painted. might go with alum heads. New MARCH pullies are waiting to be installed along with billet tall valve covers, billet water neck, BCool alum radiator, Moroso alum water pump and a host of goodies..
Today I go pick up the 700R4 trans package and Global West coil over kit..
Well, just thought I would update.. Should have it back together on the road by Christmas

Your not shocking anyone by tearing it apart, you can't live with "Good enough". What is Spiral grey, a color or a pattern?

Steve! You're out of control man. We should've just traded cars since my car really needs restoring bad. ![The Jester](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_jest.gif)
Good choice in color scheme. I think it will look good, especially with the interior accents. You'll have to post pics of it's progress.

Hey Steve..... I have an idea! I noticed that your car has the same problem that mine has..... a BUMPY RADIATOR SUPPORT! I think you should try to build something to cover it up. I wish GM would have made these radiator supports smoother on the top than they did.
Other than that a set of Brodix 2X heads, a large Comp hydrualic roller, and some nitrous would cure it all!

Not IMO

The mentioned blue with spiral grey stripes, or vice versa would be cool.

Both color schemes you have in mind would look great. Spiral grey stripes will definitely be alot less boring than everyday black.
Personally I would go with the Cadillac Blue, but flip a coin, either way it's gonna look good.
