Can it be saved?

[gzig5]

Is that the original JA5 Silver Frost paint code? What brand paint was used? My 73 Cuda was originally JA5 and I want to put that back on it when I get done with the body. Yours looks like it might be a little lighter gray/silver?

Oh boy! Well lets open the can of worms and demons!
The color is Silver Ice Metallic, a GM color! Its a 318 base car so not worried about it. street/strip car so just want it to look good and go faster than it looks.
Should have the car back from the paint shop this week or next.

What you put in you get out of it. And it shows!

Very happy with it, paint is not perfect, still some little stuff to do. Bumper pieces have shipped, rear side markers on the way, car has fiberglass fenders and hood so no front side markers, will work that out later if i need to. Unfortunately i put my foot in it driving home and ended up having to get the trailor to get home. Cam walked forward, my fault or just fate. First time i have installed a cam button and evidently got it wrong! Pulling the engine and off to the builders machine shop.

Absolutely! Just the time and money factor.
Most all of the metal can be bought.
