One more for today. He's got some more buffing to do on the hood and roof yet, but generally the paint has come together well. Sounds like I may be dragging it home on Friday.

Larry, thank you so much for the kind words regarding Dad. He did love that Coronet.

The Savoy is going back together. I've got some searching to do for side trim though; much of what was on the car was pretty beat up or MIA.

You're right, it should be black behind the grill. I looked at it for a while and decided I like the current look, at least for now. I may change my mind once it's out in the sun, but for now it looks kind of cool because the grill almost disappears in the front of the car. Thanks for the input though!

Thanks for the bump. Got sidetracked with other stuff and hadn't touched the Savoy since hauling it home. Finally got the rims on it this morning. Here's the latest.

Thanks for the interest guys. I have gotten sidetracked on other stuff; long days at work this summer (grateful to have a job for sure!)and a few other home/related projects to finish before the snow flies. I'd recently posted a 67 BelAir 2 door sedan in the general section which I had the same guy paint while he was still looking for work. That about exhausted play money for the year.

The 62 is sitting patiently under a cover in the pole barn. Hate to say it but it's about time to start putting the toys away for the winter. 47 degrees right now. 2 days ago I was riding the CBR in shirt sleeves.

Sorry I don't have more to report. Thanks again.

What a great picture! Thanks so much. Nothing of consequence to report on the Savoy. Still searching for side trim. Tore the front bench apart to try and rebuild it over the winter. It's badly weathered but I sure like that uneven split bench! Thanks again.
