HWY - Thanks, I love the black & chrome/stainless look myself. It is pretty tight in the shop/booth, so full on side shot is was not possible when I took these. Here is about the best I currently have, but I will get more once it's all together or maybe sooner.

Thanks again. That will look awesome on the W-30. I was a little torn with going black on my bird, but in the end I had to do it. Just my favorite look on a classic ride...

Thanks fellas for all the posts. My body guy is friend at work, so we have been working on the body and paint for right around a year now. Weekends only when time allows. He is super detailed. Can't wait to do a bit more next weekend! I'll update soon, hopefully will be all together in 4 weeks or so with luck.

I have walked and stood in the very tracks where your car is parked for these pictures at Wild Woody’s. Lots of car shows all around in the summer. Went to Woodward Ave. there that summer. It was back in '99 there in the Motor City. I stayed at a motel close to there for 6 months while I worked in the Detroit area. Seeing your car there brings back some great memories. Also saw some great machines on Jefferson Avenue. What a great city. There's an automotive machine shop or body shop every mile in any direction. Thanks for posting

Clobber bird,
Beautiful car and inspirational pics- I decided not to go the matte black paint route, bite the bullet and go back to square one w/ the bodywork and prep for gloss black paint. Your pics show me the future of what my Bird should look like- thanks. The silver 17 x 9 Honeycombs also look incredible w/ the finished car-just stunning. Geno |

Killer pics Craig!
What's the story on the fenders - repairing your originals?

Ya Chris, The old ones were shipped to Maine on Greyhound. The originals are stripped and repaired, just trying to get enough energy to paint them and reinstall them in thier rightful place.
