    Coop the colors are really gonna work well together...I had my doubts when I was trying to get a mental picture...but now that I've seen pics there is no doubt. can't wait to see it all together.

    I'll check with Bill & see if he is willing to paint more Mavericks/Comets...I'll try to get a ball park figure also...I'm sure he can't give an accurate estimate until he sees the car. He's a stickler about body work, doing it right...

    Good idea, when my Brown 73 LDO was new the vinyl top and LDO trim were brown as the car was, I got a white vinyl top put on and I also dyed the LDO inserts white.

    Well, we're getting closer. Bill says I'll be taking it home next weekend...Today we put the rear windows, boomerangs, door weatherstrip, trunk weatherstrip, new door handles, marker lites, & rear valance on. He needs to buff it out one more time. Everytime I see it in the sun, I love it! The metallic really stands out on both colors. Here's some pics, enjoy!
