I think natural finish / un-painted Jeff. Perhaps someone else can confirm this.

Went with 225 70 14 Radial TAs. They appear to fill the wheel wells much better than the 205 60s. The plan is to have the car buttoned up soon, perhaps by this weekend. After it's running and the bugs are worked out--it will go to another shop for the interior work--replace dash harness, gauges, steering wheel, and some minor top and upholstery stuff. Then back to my friend's shop for adjustments, detailing, etc.

Alternator, voltage regulator, windshield wiper switch were replaced. A loose wire on the brake switch cured the issue with the cruise control

Still have to switch out the convertible top cylinders and lines. Had an electric fan installed on the radiator to keep air blowing on the condenser--it works much better now, but will have the system emptied, cleaned and recharged again with 134 to see if we can get it even colder.

We put a spare in the trunk and went for a long drive. No problems. It just hummed along without issue. The gauges and cruise control work great! It's neat to have a highly optioned car where all the options work as intended.

Along the way we stopped and took some pictures...here are a couple.

Now it's time to turn my attention to my other projects...
