good call on the A4, mine RR will be A4 also..

I was one of the 'silver' guys. I hope you were not offended by my comment. I feel sure it will look spectacular in silver and you won't regret it. Best regards and good luck with it!

I think the A4 will look good.

I feel your pain on the body guys, my first stop had the car for 15 months and when I pulled the car out my invoice was $485.00 which included the flatbed ride there. the second shop has had the car for 3-1/2 years but I knew I had to wait my turn before they were on it 100%. should have color in a few weeks. youll excuse me while I dont hold my breath wont you!

my BLACK/ red conv 4 sp 68 427 vette went to two shops, one charged me $6000-8K and butchered my car, gave me two laquared cans told me those where for touch ups, the other shop $1500, and re-stripped the car and dropped something on the car!, i got my car out out there. its kinda what made me BUY all my own shop stuff years ago, lifts, Professional paint booth, etc, sand blaster, ingerhol 250 JD motor!! i figured if these HACKs can do it i can! and now i do alot of my stuff!! and do all the local sandblasting around Columbus for some hot rod shops, for play money../trade.. i do have a great body guy!! that works in my shop,, since i have all the equipment we trade off!!.. jc

a thumbs up from me, too regarding the colour.
I hope your bodyshop will get the car done soon.

The current body man that agreed to do all the metal work, body work and paint work and I had a meeting recently. We agreed that he will finish all of the metal work and that will be the end of our transaction. It bums me out because the guy is super talented, but due to 2 different helpers of his quitting, his realizing that his initial quote was very conservative to do the car and the fact that he has 3 other cars he has made commitments to get done this year, it just was the best choice for both of us. I have contacted another guy that has done work for me and my family/friends about finishing the car after the metal work is done and he has penciled me in to have the car brought to him this fall. Body man #1 promised me that the car will be solid and in primer by mid april, so we'll see about that. It would be nice to see my car get some attention soon, but it looks like it may end up sitting until November after I get it back in April. On the bright side, I have a ton of other components to keep me busy.

All of the Dash components are done, Im just waiting on getting the frame back from paint. I'll post those pics soon as it should be together this March.

glad to here your making some progress. even if it is small steps.

I think that you should paint it black!

A4 will look great on it! If it was a clone 318 car, it wouldn't matter. But since you are doing a restoration, I think you'll be glad you stuck with A4.

Black cars are more common than ever, You don't see too many A4's let alone A4 R/T's. Enjoy it! I do.

What about black w/ an A4 painted roof and an A4 interior?

Maybe A4 with a black painted roof would still keep the A4 theme?

As much as I love black cars, nothing beats silver on a b-body Have an a4 69 gtx about to go under the gun. I'm not going to want to give it back to the owner

how are you doing with the R/T.

Car is still in body man jail. I am sure my brother will chime in soon. He has made a lot of progress with components and engine stuff.

Ok, little update. The car is finally solid. The metal work was completed last week and the car is getting re-media blasted as we speak. Should be sealed up in epoxy primer early part of next week, then off to the new body man. Im through with being anxious at this point. It will get done when it gets done.
My wife and I had our son this last September, so I have been preoccupied with him, work and everything else, so it will be a nice break in the action to jump back on the car and some parts soon.
Here are some pictures of the car before it left for the blaster.
