    Sean from Paintworks delivered my GS today. The car actually had decent driver paint + no rust when I bought it. It was never blocked right, the parts were never aligned right, the seams behind the window were not done right. It looks GREAT now! I have to put it back together. All the SS has been straightened + polished. I still need a top because the moron who owned it left the top down for the whole 5 years he owned it! 1st business is to put the repro WG's + polyglass tires on. While the wheels are off, I'll do the moldings + dust around under there. It looks naked with no SS or chrome. Some pics...

    Thanks DL! I think the pics are too big. It's a new camera. I tossed a couple up, I'm working on it.

    Thanks guys! The thing about black...you really can't see how nice it is in pics. That's why cover cars like on HMM are NEVER black, and you rarely see black new cars on TV ads. T-3's + more ss are on today's list.

    Sure looks "wet". I assume it is base/clear, what brand was used? Already "color" sanded and buffed?
