As a former 73 Z28 owner (bought new and kept it for 27 yrs) I am looking forward to subsequent updates [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: 1973 RS/LT/Z28 4spd - Gold/Parchment Restoration
Excellent progress! I'm enjoying the action photos...
On my '73, the rear fenderwells were a little tricky to figure out the painting sequence. First layer was primer, then body color of course (which got completely covered over on my car), then a blackout layer from the lower rocker blackout paint, then the undercoating. It took a long time to slowly strip the car to see how they did mine. My interior had minumal overspray, so I tried to copy what they did. Keep up the good work! Charlie (hope I got this picture thing working right)

Re: 1973 RS/LT/Z28 4spd - Gold/Parchment Restoration
The color match on the original Light Copper Metallic has been a bear.
After getting it pretty close I got some metallic tints and spent a few hours with a gram scale getting the proportions VERY close. What do you guys think?

That looks pretty much spot on; nice job and you must have the patience of a saint.

I have been asking for patience for many years... maybe I have finally achieved some level of it.
