That looks great. I've only recently started working on the pan-off resto of my '66. Just replaced the floor pans. Working on the front end now.

I was actually thinking of doing a dark, metallic, graphite looking gray when it comes time to paint. Do you have a name or paint code for that color?

Keep us posted. I look forward to seeing your progress.

Its the slate grey metallic from the new 911's, caymans, and boxsters, i saw it on a new cayman on the porsche lot, and i thought it would look sweet on my car, im pretty happy with the outcome so far. it still has a little work left in the bodyshop.

The car looks great!

But the crooked photos are making me dizzy

here's the latest adds, just got my new complete wireharness kit, all new moldings, window rubber w/ crome, pop out windows, porsche boxster wheels, with porsche drums, and a garrett turbo to go with my 1915. click on it if it seems fuzzy so you can see it a little bigger.

Great project. What color is that? Will that be a future, cal-look, resto-custom, stocker, German-look, or otherwise?

Slategrey66 Sun May 27, 2007 9:05 pm

well i dont know exactly, i went for a newer porsche color (slate grey metallic), but i will be putting everything original back on vented windows, crome window moldings, crome side moldings, stock interior, but i will have porsche brakes and porsche wheels. i have 2 15x8 fuchs sitting in my garage also, but i need to come up on 2 more for the front and have them refinished, so i could kinda have both styles of wheels.

Check this out. I always liked that color and wheels.


Slategrey66 Sun May 27, 2007 9:12 pm

You are on the right fashion, man. With the Porsche brakes, I quess you are going to the German-Look side. well, that is only an opinion. Nice ride, really. :D

I have a 1302s. And my plan is the German-Look. Those wheels are great on my 1302s. But, I'll settle for the Fuchs in the Future. Great cabrio!

Looks like you started out with a really cherry body.

AJ Quick Thu May 31, 2007 11:48 am

I love that color.

Those are the wheels I want as well. You'll have the german look down!
