Dropped by the shop last Thursday to drop of my Hood Pin kit that I bought decades ago at a local car show.
Just some more random shots, not a lot of progress, could be in paint next week.

Kit was produced by D.C.S., did a quick Google search and it looks like they are still around. (actually think it's Dales Cuda Shop)

A little bit of an update, little more touch ups on top and bottom. Should see some colour by the end of this week. Fingers crossed.

Progress update for this week. Panels are off and sanded. The large panels to go in for primer tomorrow and following that the car body is going to be shot in colour on the firewall, underneath and in the passenger compartment all in colour. The car will be primed on the outside with slicksand and the panels will be installed and blocked to the car, then the car will go into the booth for final paint.

Dropped by the shop yesterday and snapped some pics, next is cut and polish to bring out the metallic and get rid of a couple of imperfections. The car is a bit dusty and under different light making the colour look a little darker. Definitely a big blue car.  :yesnod:

Dropped by the shop today to drop off my vinyl top stainless trim. They said my new 20 year old Legendary vinyl top had a really nice grain and was very good quality.
The car is mostly cut and polished, was still a bit dusty. Should be ready to come home in another week.

Started doing a few things, trying to get the boxes to slowly disappear that are filled with parts. Just installed my 20+ year old hood pins.
Pretty simple, was just cautious when drilling to make sure the drill didn't slip.

Had a bit of a mild spell the other day, so I dug up my trunk weatherstrip that I had kicking around for quite some years. Watched a few YouTube videos to aquatint myself. My biggest challenge was trying to figure out what side glues to the body. Figured that out and applied a thin film on the weatherstripping and on the body of the car. Have to say that 3M adhesive is very good.

Some purchases from MegaParts.

Don't think I actually need the door body plugs as I can't see where I can actually use them.
Also don't need the spoiler brackets as they do not work with my spoiler that I had bought in the late 80's.
And still debating about the headlight decal.



Then I placed an order with Year One, haven't purchased from them in years, thanks to the 30% off I purchased the following:
Door weatherstrip was from Metro - Supersoft
The Jack sticker and Hidden Headlight decal (wanted the green one) both came from Dale's Cuda Shop.

Door Assembly
I've got the two doors in the basement where I started installing the door weatherstripping. Used some more of the 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive.





More to come...

Also brought the fenders and front valance to my basement after I blacked out the front end so I could add the headlight buckets with their correct mounting hardware.
- Added my NOS wheel lip moulding.
- Added the NOS side marker lenses.
- reproduction Pentastar
- Impact pads

















Will drill the holes for the front spoiler next.
