OUT OF THE BOOTH, CLEARED AND BUFFED OUT.
NOW JUST TO BLACK OUT THE HOOD, REAR DECK, BUMPERS AND TRIM.
Very nice!
Are you using a flat black, satin or semi-gloss black for the hood and deck lid?
On the factory GTS cars, does the black on the rockers match the black on the hood.
Again, very nice choice in colors

Where did you source the leather cover and insert? Looks good. Did you cover the original dash yourself? Looks like new idiot light covers too.

I will be painting the hood and deck a semi gloss.
I have the rockers semi gloss and textured Urethane for rock chip protection. I will also using clear bra for some of the lower sections that are prone to stone damage.

I want to know, too!
The leather work is from a local guy its good but I wouldn't say it's great. There are a couple of ripples. I would not feel comfortable recommending him.
Covering a dash like this is pretty basic.
Take time to talk to a local upholstery shop. You might be pleasantly surprised what they can do for you.
This was the original cracked dash that I had him cover.

Paint is looking real nice!

When you first sought input on color, didn't realize it was a true GTS. You chose well!
Take your time at this stage. I kinda rushed on mine just to get it reassembled, then spent a decent amount of time after the fact adjusting door gaps, aligning shut lines, tightening trim, door handles, etc.
I guess I'm saying spend the time on seriously obsessive fitment in reassembly, just as the Italians obsessed over originally.
My car shuts with a 'thunk' and both lids with a moderate push. Rattle free and tight.
Oh, and I'd strongly consider heat insulation for floor, console, firewall, plus sound insulation in door panels and roof. You'll be amazed at the difference.
Your car is going to be fantastic.
Looks great. Love the silver and black. What are your plans for the wheels?
I have a set of PIM 17in Campy wheels and Fresh Michelin rubber
Nice choice on wheels. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Awesome! Congrats! She looks fantastic. I hope you'll post more photos after your drive!

nicely done - looks great. I'd be proud to own it. Are the side scripts decals or painted?
