ok, thats really it for now, LOL..

Very nice work.
You're welcome and thank you for the compliments.
Jules

thanks Jules again. Here is another item we discussed that your advice helped make it come out perfect. This was another PPG DAR paint sold thru Frank Badalson. It is called "Jack Gray". It is actually a little darker than the pics show but needless to say, excellent paint. Frank your paints are excellent and easy to use! ECS supplied the repro sticker.

here is a better pic to show the color.

here is a pic of it before restoration to show how close franks color matches the original.

Here is a pic of the original driver side airbox. Another in house project. The entire assembly was taken apart. Door was replated, housing cleaned, new gasket by DMT, hardware replated and new correct rivets installed.

Ok its heater box time. Since the box overall was in good conditon and the usual damage was not present. Keep in mind the original stampings are still intact. Box was completely disassembled, parts cleaned and light media used. replating, new correct rivets, DMT gasket set. JULES did the heater motor.

Mike, All the components you jazzed up yourself looks sweet. All of us Long Island, New York MoPar freaks are looking forward for your debut. Tommy

thanks Tommy. I appreciate it. One more thing and I promise, thats it until Tim posts some pics of the Jamaica Blue Bandit!! Another one day DIY project was the rallye dash bar that was done inhouse, with the exception of media cleaning. These are the before pics.

here comes the fun part. entire assembly was stripped down. Extreme caution and a grinding bit for a dremel helped get those rivets out without damaging the lenses. The original part# label was carefully removed. Front side was primed, inner lens housing were shot with some omni brand white. Exposed metal was treated to a special non gloss clear.

You guys ever going to show us a car or just every nut and bolt and every component that was restored.

assembly carefully taped and TOTALLY AUTO Black Suede applied to one side of the housing. The Totally Auto paint is very nice and easy to use. They actually have the PPG paint canned in a spray. Also new correct rivets to install the delicate lenses back on the housings.

Here is the other side with original wiring and label installed. Does anyone know if ECS makes the wiring label? I did not remove the original one.

Alright, thats really it. Sorry for sidetracking. I hope everyone has enjoyed this resto so far. More pics to come.
