That's really looking good. I don't feel so bad about mine sitting for a year now.
I really should have been doing something with it today. I just couldn't get motivated to go out there. Windy and cold (for Georgia at least) all day. I'm gettin' with it tomorrow though.

Looks great, I'm right behind you. Hope to paint this spring.
In the 'before' shot, are those American Racing wheels with PMD center caps?

Yeah - good eye!
I got those back when I bought the car in 89, dont know if they make them anymore but I am sure they still make something close to them
The PMD caps fit perfect

looks awesome!

I am restoring a Matador red 69 Lemans vert. I was thinking about changing the color (I also have a black top and interior) but after seeing your pics I'm thinking I might stay with Matador red.

Is that PPG paint and did you do the paint work yourself?

Man that's awesome, you are inspiring me to get off my butt. Keep it up. I bought my '69 in 1988, so I can relate to a project taking 15+ years. Keep us updated!

Jegstek,

What are all those small dimples in your firewall? The '70 I just bought has those too.
