67 GTX Paint Update - Back In Black

[67GTX440]

I went to visit the car today and was shocked to see it out in front of the shop and black. Door jams and body have been done, but they still need to paint the trunk, top side of trunk lid, top side of hood, quarter panel extensions and hood scoops. For a gloss black, it came out slicker than owl **** and the 1/8 mile of quarter panels appear to give nice smooth reflection. I am very pleased. They still have until May 21st to get it back to me within two years! I wish I could have gotten better pictures, but the car was under a carport, part in the shade and part in the sun with recent rain on the sunny part.

I am very glad I did not decide to pull it out of the shop in pieces. The guy does very nice work when he decides to do it.



Quick question for owners of similar models. Should the steering column be gloss black like the inner front doors or a flat/satin black more like the dashboard? It is flat/satin black now, but I can't swear anything on this car is original.

Thanks!

The normal stripe choice would be red, but I had also thought about a gun metal grey metallic or flat black. If I do stripes, they will most likely be tape so they can be changed if desired.

I have the red and black 440 hood emblem and plan to add the Wilwood front disk brakes with red rotors and reline tires. I am going to see if that is enough red contrast on the black first, before I add any stripes.
