Project - The Bat in The Cat Reply #33 – December 14, 2013, 09:32:41 PM Did you get new door handles and the rest yet? I saw new trunk lock on Ebay (with the glove box lock) for a really nice price. May have the other locks as well. Quote Selected

Basically, everything that was chrome will be black. :) Quote Selected

Is that a stock color?Yes, that is the original factory color, Medium Sandalwood Metallic. It's amazing seeing it in person, it is exactly the color I remember when my dad brought it home in 1988. The original color faded fairly quickly from the py paint jobs and thin clearcoats they used to do. This paintjob and clear will be much, much thicker. :) Quote Selected

Project - The Bat in The Cat Reply #38 – December 17, 2013, 08:22:28 AM Pics coming later today. I was off yesterday and decided to not go in and bother the bodyshop. I did get texts from coworkers saying it looks awesome though! Quote Selected

Project - The Bat in The Cat Reply #44 – December 17, 2013, 05:55:02 PM Thanks! Hood & trunk are baking in the booth right now. New black door handles should be here any day. All trim will be blacked out. Sad thing is, with the the weather I may only get to drive it once before putting it away for a few months. :(Not that I won't drive it in winter, I just don't want to subject the fresh paint to road salt yet.
