Great Job Bryan, Awsome Car, but then again i am a little partial to plum crazy and white!!






Randy, your car looks great! I may need to go w/white letter tires after seeing yours.

Tnx for all the kind words guys.... the goal is to have the car ready to go the weekend of Dec 3rd. Hoping the roads are clear and the weather is still good so I can do some...... hmmmmmm..... tire testing!

Didn't you buy some chrome TT's? My car looks pretty much like the '68 above, but I tell you what I wish I did; put a set of repro Polyglass tires on the steelies and a set of RWL radials on the aftermarket wheels.

Hey Dave, you hit the nail on the head! I'm going to destroy the tires that are on it now (Canadian Tire Blackwalls)... then replace them w the Polyglass repops. I did pick up a nice set of 15" Chrome Torque Thrusts that I'll be putting some WLT's on for a change.... just can't decide exact size and which WLT's to go with.....

I think I mentioned this before, but I used 235/70/15's on 15x7's up front and 275/60/15's on 15x8" on the back (4.5" BS IIRC). my would be that anything larger on the rear may look goofy. Disclaimer; the fronts rub at full lock.....but I wanted them to be the same height as the rears (28") so I could use one spare as well as for asthetic considerations.

Car looks AWESOME, Bryan!

I can't believe you caught up and passed me in 2 weeks! You've been burnin' the midnight oil!

So hurry up and get the grills and side marker lights in, then you can take "finished" outside pics.

Are those the "Dale's Cuda Shop" wheel opening mouldings? how do they look up close and how hard were they to get fit? especially interested in the rears.

The "Dales Cuda Shop" mouldings fit like a glove, 1000% better then the original set i tried to make fit from Metro. There was no rebending/hammering with the rear ones to make them fit the contours as they should.

Still alot of little pieces to get finished yet... hoping to have it running in the next few days.

As for the questions above on the rear tail panel.... I sanded the coating off using 180 grit paper, switching to 320 once 70% of it was off. Once all of the coating was off i worked my way up using 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, all wet paper. Then polished with autosol. The panel is just buffed by hand in those pics, but it could also then be machine buffed, and clear could be added at this point as well if desired.

Thanks for the comments...

Dave... I wish I could take the credit but.. it's Jeffery (see posting above...Jeff_Past) that's been putting in the overtime! He's done a Fantastic job on the car and enabled me to get my "Dream Car" at a price I could afford! I got the family discount.....lol!

It's in for exhaust today (Monday) and as Jeffery mentioned.. should be running soon. It's going to be a loooooooooong winter looking at it in the garage! ... but it is + 12degrees here today so I may get it out for a spin before winter settles in for good .

Thanks guys; looks like I'll order a set of the mouldings from Dale's: the Metro parts look like AZZ and don't come close to fitting. I'll add them to the spare ramcharger duct and 100 other repop pces that weren't good enough to use!
