Looks Great Joe!! Do you already have your 4 speed hump and console brackets installed on the floor? I think the 4 speed bracketry is different from the auto somehow. Tav

Thanks Public,
Here's a pic. of what I used to paint the grille. The Silver Truck paint was used to lightly dust or fog the grate portion of the grille. I took the whole grille apart so that I could get the best job possible.
For the bezel masking I used the blue painters tape like you would use for the inside of your house and slowly/carefully masked it off by hand. There is a ring that you can see that I guess the factory stampings left and I used that as my guide. Burbar asked about the bumper bracket paint, I've looked for what I used but did not find it yet. I'm almost certain it was Semi Gloss Engine paint.

Tom, I have not been to Carlisle yet but my old RR was taken up by a friend many years ago and sold there. I do plan on going to one of the big events when the car is closer to being done. Here's an update everyone. I've been wrapped up with life and have not been able to work on the car for a few weeks now. Built a dolly to hold the glass so that I wouldn't break it last week. You can see it here: https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...e=2#Post5474493Had planned on doing a good bit this past weekend but threw my back out on Friday Still feeling pain but did get a little bit done today. I wasn't totally happy with the way the driveshaft turned out and the more I looked at it, the more it bothered me. So, had a little time today and redid it. Much happier with the finish now. It looks a little gold looking in the photo but it isn't in person. Hope to get some done on the car this weekend if the back will cooperate.

Now, that's a nice finish. Mine looks really gold in the photo (could be the camera) but looks closer to AA's in person (still not THAT nice). I may try the blue (welded look) treatment and see how it goes.
Update-wise, my back is still tweaked I'm hoping it will be better by next weekend.

Hey Tom! Yes, that is what it looked like when I bought it. The previous owner took the photo in his yard and emailed it to me with some others before I bought it from him.

I remembered it because its B7 with that weird pink primer coming through. My car had the same thing!
