Is it originally Butternut Yellow? Looks nice.

Looks like Gobi Beige, Butternut Yellow wasn't available in 1970. Coming along nicely :thumbsup:

Good job. Smart move documenting each step. Keep us posted.

Original color is Mist Green, it has yet to be painted. Ive still got some minor body work to do, Its probably gonna be primed and sealed black cause its hard for an 18 y-o to buy a good paint job.
The color thats on it now is a beige primer that the previous owner put on after some body work was completed.

Heres a pic I got off the internet of whats its supposed to look like

 

[bluechevelless]

New goodmark Front bumper, windows installed and car is zebra colored now.
The lights arent right on the front cause I was missing them and a friend game me some to use till I get my own. Ive been driving it on the road too.
