Well after 19 renderings from Ben, I finally made a decision. With a week to go I called and bothered Ben one last time and this is what he came up with.
I love it, A huge thanks goes to ben for putting up with me through all this.

Then came the work. 35 Hours straight 4 people, Jolt, Pizza and Marlboro.
Macco of York PA was the biggest asset I had for this part of the build. They donated there Booth and 35 Hours of hard Labor. Chuck Greason the owner and Dave the painter stayed with me the whole time. Infact Dave ended up doing the clear coat and it turned out allsome. Chuck did all the side stripes himself, I'd say atleast 6 hours just for them. I could have never done this with out them. Not all Maaco's are created equill, These guys do fantastic work.

can't thank enough people for all the help and support enough. Many of you have recieved calls from me late at night and early in the morning. Pete and Frank I'm sure I'm on the no call list by now but thanks again for getting me this far. Tony has always been there and Steve D( HRBS) is working on the future for me. There has been so many people that has helped me get this for From the Lateral G Family. Sorry if I missed your name. Just your support got me this far. Now we have to plan the interior and get this thing running.

Beautiful Color! But the top Stripes look way to wide and the side is way to skinny! IMO

Thanks Guys for all the comments, It did turn out great. I agree the stripes are a little different then normal but that's just what I wanted.

Congratulations, Mark! Paint is a huge milestone in any project and will definitely build enthusiasm for the project.

Ben has to be stoked that you were so careful to make it exactly like the rendering and the subtle deviation from stock while paying homage to the car's history is spot-on! Good on ya, both!

Thanks for the opportunity to help you out on this Mark! You nailed it!:thumbsup:

Yeah, I'm pumped that we found just the right paint scheme and it's awesome to see how it transferred from 2D to 3D very well. We tried many variations leading up to this and I could tell that Mark just hadn't seen "The One". After he saw this concept, there was no question though.

Thanks for all the possitives, No final on wheels and interior yet but we are working on a design. Right now I just need to get over the hump with wet sanding and finalizing the paint.

Is it ok to be wet sanding all night while dancing to the GO Go's? or am I just getting excited? Sirus 80's and Jolt????

Just a few updates. The car is pretty much wet sanded and buffed for the first round, I'll let it set up and go back over it in a few weeks. Still having a few issues with the doors but no bid deal. It looks great. The kids want to help me out this week end so we got it up in the air to start on the Exhaust, Plumbing and wireing.

There great kids, they know Daddy has been working hard and they can't wate to take it out. Trust me, they would be out there all the time, but that can be very Scarry.
