I'll have more next Monday..

Finally for today... Here it'll get paint and then wheel well undercoating..

Nice Job Troy! Glad to see it in paint.

Fantastic Troy! I finally get home tomorrow and will start on my rocker replacement. Maybe the following week we'll hook up and I can see what my color will look like close up! I'm going to get some of that primer colored paint too. I'm planning on the same thing. Talk to you soon.

Cheers

Hey gang.. Here she is as of today.... The shell's painted along with the trunk, engine bay and inside of the truck lid, hood and doors.. The front fenders were being worked on today ready for primer and paint.....

Another:

Another underside:
trunk area....

misc. pics of the doors, hood and deck lid...

Boy, that sure was a bold color for '68 wasn't it? Very nice indeed.

All the sheetmetal is getting bolted on and aligned today and then the final painting. Next week will be cut-n-buff so I should have her home by next weekend !!!! I can't wait to start putting all the stuff back in............ I'll be going over there tomorrow to check it out and take more pics............

Here are some more from today. Boy, it's getting closer...

As I saw her when I got there next to the Spoiler..


The hood, deck lid and front valance ready for installation and buffing...


Right frontal view... Lookie at those lil' holes in the door...


Left rear...


I tried to make sure they didn't smooth out the factory seam there between the end cap and quarter.. I also made sure the gaps between the rear valance and end caps were exactly the same as original... You'll notice the dark primer color under the car.. Some would have had more overspray, some less... I let things fall as they may treating the painter as an assembly line painter back in the day..


Another shot of the underside and the effort I made to duplicate the OEM primer/overspray. It may not be "perfect", but she's mine..


Frontal picture of the underside.. Bill will fade some more overspray from the front both on the inside framerails and floorpan behind the firewall-2-floorpan pinch weld.


Great looking color..


Engine bay shot. There is some touch up to do on the bolts and fasteners. The fenders were temporarily placed and fitted. Then, the body sealer will be placed in between the inner fender panels and fenders. Battery tray attach hardware will be painted as well just like in the day.


Frontal shot...


Another side view...


Finally image for today...............

OMFG - can I say that ? Gorgeous color - I know a guy who had one with a 440, when it was for sale I couldn't swing it - it went to Mass. I think - one car I wish I could get another shot at - white vinyl roof and interior - and a HEMI to boot ? Double...no triple - congrats - Joe

That car looks absolutely perfect!!!! I mean you must have worked those guys hard, in a few pictures there's one or two of them dead on the floor!!!

Troy, your new paint looks perfect. Can almost hear that HEMI when I look at your pics!!
Brad

SWEET!SHARP! NO

Troy - Wish I would have looked you up last week when I was in Houston. That 68 is a KNOCK OUT! You should be very proud - and anxious to finish her! Looks fantastic! Keep posting the progress - Dave

Wow, that color looks fantastic.

Two questions-

Was the factory primer shiny like the grey underbody paint you used?

What's the reasoning behind not painting roof? I'm asssuming you're having a vinyl top installed, but I still wonder.

Super job so far. I would be if my vehicle was at that stage.
