Yet another damn set back !!!!!!!!!!!!! But this one im ok with lol.
I got a call from glasstek and my parts where done . So i have pushed my paint date yet another weekend back so i can fit my parts now that i have them before paint.
I also got fed up of glass guys bailing out on me and i installed my windsheild my self with help from my girlfriend.
A couple that wrenches 🔧 together stays together.🤔😃.
Well my girlfriend and i got the decklid lined up thu. And i put the bumpers on and drove it to work. It got lots of looks. Then today my dad stopped by my place and i got the hood aligned. My dad has more patience with stuff like that than my girlfriend lol. Next week no ands.ifs or buts it will be painted. For those of you still following thanks.
As to why we painted the hood and decklid at a different time is because we can get it to match and its hard to paint all that stuff at once. I was there 15 hrs yesterday didnt get home until 5am today. Just spreading the work load.
Yep thats what i wanted !!!!. My buddy put his own little ques on it. I have always wanted those 2 stripes combined. He executed my idea very well. I couldnt be happier.
Again thanks fellas it really means alot to me. Its taken a long time to put my vision to reality. Im glad i can show this to my buddy and tell him his work is appreciated. He did the paint and did the stripes his way based off what i wanted.
That really looks nice. The color, the stripes, the new wheels, everything. If stripes really could make you go faster that would easily be worth a full 10th.
Bob. Looks like i wont. Reality hit after paint and i got a tall order to fill before i can get it out. But i will go check it out anyway. Byron bop is 2 days again and i will make it to that
Well the old girl got a little sun today. Also got the hood painted and the deck lid. The hood stripes are slightly different . Again my buddy did his own thing on them the marbleizing was my idea the layout with the pinstripe in the back was his.
Excellent work the car is beautiful. I like the what you did with the body lines and the gaps are perfect. Well done. Can I ask how you got the line on the bottom of the rear quarters cut in ? Thanks

Reason: Question
Well i put filler over the entire seam. Then i put tape along the bottom door edge of the rocker and then a line of tape long the top to the desired width and i used sand paper wrapped over a filler spreader to leave it nice and crisp and straight.
Thanks I appreciate that. Right now I'm blocking the primer, I had quarter skins put on and they look pretty good but the after market fenders and trunk lid don't fit to good. I should have looked for oem parts. But I'll get it done someday?
