Looks great. When you originally posted describing your military theme, I was thinking a camo paint scheme. This is much better.
Did you do your own bodywork? If you sent it out, would you recommend that body/paint shop? I think I'll hit that stage this fall; I'm building a rolling chassis and am hoping to move the body over late fall or early winter.
If you need a hand with that hard top, I'll be happy to help. I screwed that up trying to do it on my own once. %)

Thanks Scott.
I didn't do the body work. I've never done that and knew I couldn't do it to meet my satisfaction. Everything else I did or am doing. The guy that I worked with was recomended by one of the local body shops because he does custom stuff. He's in North Denver, not far from 36 and I25. I originally went to him just for the media blasting, but ended up cutting a deal with him for everything.
Would I refer him? To be honest, there are some details that he needs to clean up, and says he will, once I get it put back together and bring it back one last time. As an example, there is a rather large run in the clear on the topper, the windsheild was let down before the clear was dry and it crinkled it up on the hinge, the inside of the doors need to be buffed down along with some other areas. So, if he fixes those things, I'll be happy with what I got and would refer him. I have a buddy redoing a 69 corvett with a 427, all original and low miles. I've held my buddy off until I get the last few details/issues resolved.
PM me if and when you get ready to discuss it and I'll walk you through the good, the bad, and the ugly of what I learned with this phase fo the project.
