I couldn't tell if it was beige or white, either way it looks great. I love low impact colors Travis..

looks great and I love the white. Too bad you didn't take the body plugs and tank vent out of the trunk first; you're making yourself more work! look forward to seeing some more pics. Dave

this is the first build and money is very little and if i had to do this over i would like you said taken out the body plugs and i would do it on a rotisserie .i started with the engine bay and removed everything and stripped it to bare metel then painted it and thought i would just putting it together and drive it but noooo. i after that started taking it apart more and more well here i am after 4 years and i still have not driven it but i know it is getting close. it is now time to start everyday to put more and more things back on it .my problem is finding all the pictures and drawing i took as i was taking it apart but i do know this has been fun. after it is done i will be looking for a new project but the next one will be painted flat black primer and i will have fun with it ( driving )in the rain ricks_RR

I have threatened to paint my car white, but everyone says not to do that I dunno, I really like white cars. If I did that, I'd do a green interior too, just to really get people going I have a 71 D100 that is white with green interior and I LOVE that old piece of crap. Hell, when we bought our 01 Mustang Bullitt (dark highland green) we were looking to buy the only new white Mustang GT in our region, but someone beat me to it Travis..

I am amazed. I would never have thought it possible to have one of those look good in white, but you sure have done it. I really like it! Congrats on a great project.

Sweet, post more pics of the black out. Did you go organisol? Since it's shot over the paint I have to ask
I used one of Planet colors rugged tones on my Cudaand it looks like organisol according to a local club member with original hood paint on his AAR

I really like white cars and yours is no exception. The only thing that could make it look better is white wheels!!!
Ditto on that. Great looking car either way. I have same car (Y2 Yellow) and rims are Yellow. There is something about body color rims.

I know some repros from a few years ago were poorly done. They copied a poorly repaired original one and duplicated the ugly repairs. I was lucky enough to find an original. The price was the same then.
