I suppose I should start my build thread anytime now... 1970 #'s matching L-78 Bench 4-Spd.
Coming home from paint today... I did all the panels and bodywork at home.

70 L78 Nova...
 

You may want to get those wraps off the b pillars -- the paint is not really dry and if you leave them on there it may leave marks ... BUT the Nova sure is pretty!!!

Looks like she's going to be a winner when done. Very nice Sir.

Yes, will remove as soon as it's home.
It has been sprayed w/2 coats of clear... de-nibbed, edged and scuffed... air dried.. baked...
Then re-cleared and air dried for a week prior to putting the doors back on.

Lots of clear for cutting and polishing !

Thanks Tom,
Yes, 1970 Forest Green. A good friend loaned me his 1970 dealer sales album paint chip book (2-1/2" x 10" chips). We did about 10 spray-outs to nail it.

They all thought I was crazy sticking to the original style metallics and not going with the new "brilliant" cut flake. Ha! I know what I want ! It's dead on to the sample I have.
