Welcome, nice to see another build underway. Question, what are you going to do for a top in the event it suddenly rains while you have it out?

I wanted to do monterey blue as well but I was told using dark colors is a bad idea on these bodies.

Guys,

Upon the request of a member, I've split out the fiberglass and paint discussion that was on this thread and moved it to the paint and fiberglass section of this site.  This is a really good discussion that we don't want to see lost in this build diary. 

Please help continue contributing to this thread in it's new location  http://lamboclone.com/index.php?topic=227.0 (http://lamboclone.com/index.php?topic=227.0)

Thanks,

Chris

Just go to lambostuff.com and compare.  Although you can contact Jim at Lamborghini Carolinas and they can give you a better deal than Lambostuff.  I got my Grilles two front, two rear, and one license plate grille for $690 shipped.  Just give em a call and ask for Jim in parts.  Some of you are used to dealing with Jesse but he doesn't work there anymore from what I hear.  The number is: 336-544-0870
