Paint..............Finally


After a lot of hard work and long hours I got the SD off to the paint shop Monday and back today. I am really happy that I kept the car the original Matador Red.
 Now the reassembly process begins so there is still lots of work to be done but this is definitely a big day for the car.

I love seeing progress pics. The only thing better than that is seeing my own progress pics!

Keep us pictorially updated, will you please?

No problem with the update pics Carl. I have been taking lots of pictures but there has not been that much change.
 I took a lot of pictures of parts as I was cleaning them up to get factory paint marks, etc.

 I took this picture of the cowl when I was stipping the black paint. It is the body paint number that was under the black that the factory sprayed on to cover the red overspray. I went over it with pencil because the yellow crayon was so faded.

How's the chrome? Good shape I hope, because the paint looks awesome!

I had the stainless buffed so it is perfect. The wheel opening mouldings are NOS. All the chrome is very good or NOS with exception of the bumpers. I have one clean rear bumper with a dent, the same with the front. I think I will run the original ones for now. The chrome on the rear is pretty faded above the tailpipes though.

Hi John. I haven't got the stripes yet but I will keep the pictures coming. I'll give you a call tomorrow about the brake issue I had.
