You guys are so funny   
First of all, this fast going restoration is a result of several peoples effort. I am just supervising the restoration (and then some), my brother, his youngest son, his daughter and also good friends have been involved in the work so far. Without them the restoration would have been slow going.  
Yesterday I mentioned that the car will be painted in a new color. When we started to work on the car I just for fun showed my brother the dealer color and upholstery album for 1970 and asked him to look close at the colors and pick the one he would have chosen if he had been able to order the car from factory. I was thinking he would chose Competition green or blue, but to my surprise Competition Gold was his favorite. At the time a full restoration and repaint was not the plan so we somewhat left it there. Later when it was clear that a full restoration was the way to go I asked my brother to think seriously about a color change for the cat. I also have a spare Eliminator hood scope and a front spoiler that I suggested to put on the car. All this will give the car a much more aggressive look which I think will make it look great. To my surprise he agreed with me and that is now the plan. 



The paint....



And here is a 70 XR7 photshopped to how it will become when it is finished
