THR Spring Edition coming home next week :)

Looks like I'll be heading down to Tom's to pick up the car next week
He's got the stripe done, headers installed, doing tune and wrapping things up.

Here it is when I last visited...

The headers back from the coaters:


...Nitroplate (www.nitroplate.com) was who did them. Their customer service was A+, very professional, and the results are amazing. If anyone is in the market, I'd highly recommend them.

Here's a link to, ...my '67 for those white w/blue interior fans

looks good!
I told my hubby last month when we ordered the SE, that we might have to take it to our painter and have that BRM lightened up a bit.
Good call!
Have fun with your 'new baby'!

Here's a comparison pic of a sample spray of the blue we went with, compared to the factory BRM.
(it's a modified Blue Topaz)

Is 'Blue Topaz' a GM color? It looks really good, and I bet it plays well off the blue interior of our Spring Editions.
After seeing this, I'm pretty sure we will get ours re-"blued" too.

It's not only a GM color, ...but a 2014 color as well (used on the Impala). It's a real close match to the top color too. I'll for sure take some pics in different lighting in... real soon

Here's a couple pics while I download everything.
