You probably know.. But you got Gloss paint. Didn't they have the flat yellow? Looks cool so far! What color are the grills going to be? Black?

the grills by the door handles clip in. So you should be able to pop them out.

The lower door grill is melted to the door panel. You must remove the panel and break the grill off. It is attached in 4 corners, once the panel is off you will see it right away.
Love the yellow on black.

Did you happen to see if they had Flat colors? I know we looked a bit the day we went to Home Depot. I haven't gone to look again. I am still torn on how to make the dash look.. Either have it custom painted my a friend or have a guy in Vegas pin stripe it.. I think I will end up going with the pin striping.
How are the springs doing?

Very nice. I think the gloss works very well with yellow.
