Oh that makes sense on why it looks darker. It's a great shot.
Now when you say you worked with Cars Inc. on matching the color, do you mean just over the phone, or do they have another location aside from just Michigan? I wasn't aware they sold 67 Impala door panels, never saw them on their website (am I just blind and missing them, or...?). Sorry if this is all really obvious, I've just never worked with Cars Inc. before. As for the rest of the interior, thanks for all the answers. I just love how easy this whole SEM paint approach is. Until I found this thread I had no idea how I was going to correctly handle this portion of the remodel, and lo and behold the answer is incredibly simple.
So far I seem (Fingers crossed I haven't missed anything) to have all the little bits and pieces needed for this car, save one; the exterior side trim. Naturally. I started off with a caprice, so it has the lower and slightly thinner side trim already installed. So while it isn't a huge deal, if I'm going to be as accurate as possible then I'll need to eventually get a set of the authentic Impala trim. If you get a bead on a set, or happen to already have an extra pair let me know. It would help me out a lot.
That's so great that your Dad had the resources to help you out with this monumental project. 7 months of continues weekends of hard work, yeah I'd say mission accomplished, bud. That's one hell of a transformation! Once I get further along with my project maybe we could meet up and check out the others Metallicar
