Man... that car looks great. It's going to be such a shame when you have to scuff that roof to apply the vinyl top. Personally, I might leave it as is and allow the future owner to make that call. It's not quite as easy to reverse as a microphone in the glovebox and not everyone loves a vinyl top... factory equipped or not.  You make most of us look bad Alan. You are running circles around my Bee project... 
Do you really think he's going to delete the top with the amount of restoration going into that car?

Awesome job on this thing. When I first saw the BarrelCuda pictures I had that typical car fantasy, you know the one: Road trip to Canada, drive around till you find a blue tarp covering a green car, sitting on some barrels, down in a hole. Then helicopter it home, wash and wax it, and drive it to car shows, taking home the gold. You've certainly burst my bubble with this by finding it first and all.  Kudos to you on an excellent job! Love the photos. I consider them reference material. I'm looking forward to seeing them all on your web site when they up the bandwidth allocation.

Ok...So in Canada we just had our Thanksgiving weekend....You would think that the ol'Barrelcuda would be finished....  ...however I very rarely work on cars on the weekend, but in between scrubbin toilets, cutting grass and entertaining two kids, I managed to get in 4 hours in three days  While waiting for the flywheel I turn towards the front end black-out and headlights....These NOS babys were supplied by Bill Rolik

I re-did the grey on the backside of the valance insert and tried to copy the pictures of the original 71 that Scott posted in another thread....

Looking great Alan,
To think I spent almost 9 hours rebuilding a pair of KH 4 Piston Calipers for my GTS this weekend. Of course I had to go through my entire stash of 6 calipers to find enough good pistons to build 2 good ones. Sure wish I had a tool for removing those pistons. I have 4 that are fused to the calipers.
I don't know how you do it. It takes me forever to restore parts. Of course I know you are sourcing lots of new and NOS bits. Perhaps my next one I will take your approach.
I sure wish you lived down here. I could use some schooling on your time savers hehehehe.
-Dave
PLEASE Pray for our brothers and sisters in harms way. If you are the owner of a GTS us at the GTS Registry www.gtsregistry.com

Where did the brake valve come from? Is there anyone who rebuilds them? Isn't the master cylinder supposed to be natural finish?
