    The 71’ is finally getting some color on it.

    Hopefully the whole car is painted by new years.

    Porsche Macadamia brown.

    Nice that you are doing all the surfaces inside and out. Can’t wait to see it all.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Might be picking up the car this weekend.  Now the catch is I need to track down an enclosed trailer.

    That looks really good.  Has to be a good feeling to finally have color on it.

    It absolutely is.  A big relief to have it home, and not having the wife looking at me cross eyed every time I needed a wad of cash for the painter.  Now I just need wads of cash to finish it!

    Unusual wheels. They work quite well with that car.

    Sometime down the road I want to get a set of campagnolo pantera wheels.  There are outfits making 17” copies of the 14 & 15” originals.

    I like the look of it and it’s just different enough, that it makes it look unique.
