Im not sure.  this is the 77 SE gold.  and not to sure the 78 had the same gold. as my 79 8's are not the same gold.  Pete is getting me this paint code so I can paint the grills the same.



  dude those look good!!!

just a small update. its going slow but its going..   doesnt look like much is done but the body is ready for its last wet sand. doors, trunk lid and fenders are about there.  3 wheel spoilers still to primed and wet sanded.  hood needs blocked.
I'm going to quit saying when I think it will be in paint , because it never happens that way.
SO... it will be in paint when it in paint..  :P

the shaker's center line was about all sanded of.  it had 4 paint jobs on it I stripped off.  I made a new line with duraglass filler , and a polly filler over that to feather it to a sharper line. 






the fenders, doors and trunk lid are DONE and ready to go on the car to check body lines.
