Re: brought her home from the paint shop....
Thanks for the kind words guys. Yes, the color is black. Painted by a friend of mine. Getting real close to finishing now. I spent the day installing the 1-piece windows and some fun stuff like door handles, side markers, emblems and mirrors. Here's a couple more pics:
