After almost a week I'm back to post some pics of the Cutty. Here she is!
Don't know how to make 'em big like yours but you can see that there's not much to do RE: rust, paint prep, etc... That one rust spot is on the hood which seems to be some bondo from a previous paint. I've seen the W-30 ram-air hoods on ebay for around $600. Has anyone had experience with these?
RE: that orange roof... about 6yrs ago the original vinyl top rotted and when it ripped on the freeway at 70+miles per hour, I felt like Superman with my "cape" flying in the wind.
After that I hand sanded as best I could and bought what I thought would be a dark rust primer from AutoZone. As you see, it wasn't what I thought but she still looks good!
