The Bed liner is a spray on called scorpion. I don't know much about them. It looks good for what it is. For my truck I would still prefer line-x. Line-x is more uniform, this scorpion looks good, but is more of a spatter, inconsistant pieces.

As far as my color goes I believe I have made my choice. I am gonna go with a green color. This is supposedly the original 1981 jadestone metallic paint code 47. This looks a little more green to me, but I like it so what the hell. He did a test panel for me on an old beat up ford fender.

I think that color will look really good! Hurry up and get this thing done so we can do some cruising around here! Not really any nice G Bodies in our area, and to see two sweet Oldsmobiles running around would be a sight to see 8)

I was doing my best. Its out of my hands now. The guy that is doing my body work gave me some dissappointing new last week. He will not have a lot of free time now that its nice out so he is thinking he might be done with the body and paint by the end of the summer, AT THE SOONEST! :blam: So I guess I have to wait....

Understandable, we are all at the mercy of someone else :cry:

When it comes time to start bolting things up, get ahold of me and I will give you a hand 8)

I have a few updates. The car is back on the frame. Some of the body work is done, but by no means all. Quarter panel work has started but looks extensive. The car had been in an accident previously and the entire passenger rear quarter was changed, including the rear tail section. They did a poor job patching it in the past so now its up to someone else to do it right. I bought a goodmark quarter and the quality was a little shotty, but I believe it said made in korea so what do you expect. So I have a goodmark panel a small section from a donor car and the original car getting pieced toghether like a puzzle.
