Well They Suprized me again and sprayed the Charcoal on the Lower Body and the Tail Light Panel, they still have a bit of buffing to do, but it is looking good!!!! I am supposed to drop off the windshield to be reinstalled Monday, and they still have to paint the charcoal on the upper Part of the doors and door frame? The area of the body were the door seal contacts. Then I can get the company that did the decals and Vinyl stripes to come out and install them. I guess it is time to call inline tube and get some Fuel and Brake Lines made!!!!! I just noticed that the rear window was in just now looking at the pic's, I didn't Notice that when I looked at the car in person.

Just a couple of more pic's they have completed spraying all the Charcoal paint around the window and door frames, and it looks good!!! They just need to do a Final Buffing around the paint transition line, and it will be ready for Stripes and Decals!!!! They also reinstalled the rear spoiler. So still some progress.

Looking Good...

Yellow is a color I am familiar with. A Buddy of mine has recently spent like eight grand on paint for his 72 Vega and you guessed it Yellow. He has put on GT stripes but more of the Camaro look. Its sweet and the next time I am over I will take a picture of it. BTW, he is a long time 30 year Vega owner but not active here. He is busy with Couple of Mustangs and the Vega is fitted in when he has time to work on it.

Again, keep at it =)

Thanks Guys!!! As for wheels I have a set of 15X7 Snowflakes that I am leaning towards, it would give it a "stock" look if you don't look to close at the car. That is the look I am shooting for, "stock apearing"

I went and viseted the car this morning, and I think it looks better in person than in the pic's they sent me!!!! I took a better overall pic and some detail pic's. Its getting close, they only have to paint the inner wheel wells, and install the windshield and rear 1/4 glass, Then I have to pony up the $$$$
