They started on the little pieces today...closest thing to real color is the one of the parts in the booth under the lights....everything changes color outside...really nice, soft cream.

Oh, no clear on the paint yet!

The yellow Nova is outside along with 3 or 4 other old cars waiting their turn inside!
 
nice!
 
Thanks, neat place. Looked like home. hehe.
 
Ooohh Ahhh. Looks like you might need them reassembly pics soon.
 
I like that color - what color are you going to do the radiator slats in?

Biscuit to match the interior
 
are you gonna have it done in time to bring it to our show in September? T series are the featured car
 
Dunno - we hope to start putting it back together next week.
 
That's got to feel good, Tony. Quite the exploded assembly of car bits, butsoon it'll be a full car again.

I like the color choice -- very different from most TDs one sees.
 
Color is Sequoia Cream - R& M Paint #YL5

Went down to take some additional photos today but my digital camera went TU....its on its way to Olympus for repairs! 7-10 business days before I get it back...everything will be painted, cleared, buffed & ready for assembly by the time camera gets back!
 
So, borrow or get a cheep one. You should have a back up in any case.
 
Yeah, I've got an old one but don't even know if I still have the software for it!
 
Tony,

I'm guessing its going to look like my friends TC?

Except mine will be 1 color, not 2 tone.
 
Tony:

That is a very nice color, IMHO the single tone is sweeet...
