Zguy91 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Did you have the cowl panel screwed into those pieces of wood? Thats pretty creative might be a good way to paint small pieces like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 That would have worked too. I've seen emblems done like that, stuck into pieces of cardboard. The cowl piece was actually secured with coat hangers that were hooked over the tops of those old pieces of particle board shelving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Getting very close to being all assembled now. I had to make my own brackets to mount the '73 bumper on my car. It was much straighter than the original '72 bumper that came on my car though. I did drive it for the first time in 8+ months today. It was nice to feel the sensation of rapid acceleration again. Items left to do: Mount stainless windshield trim Adjust alignment on bottom half of passenger side door Buy and mount front bumper rubber strips, mount overriders Solve fuel delivery problem Install new front tension rod rubber bushings Purchase and install white seat upholstery in place of current black set Tint visors white Safety inspection and registration Then I should just be able to enjoy it. I was going to take some more pictures as the sun was setting, but as I drove to the back of the neighborhood that fuel delivery issue crept up on me again, so it'll have to wait until another day.

blue72 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Here are a couple under full, direct sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Looks really good in the direct sunlight. I like the amount of pearl/metallic in the paint to just make it pop in the sun. You are so far along in the project now that you don't have far to go! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackhammer Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Great job! The best part is that you have the satisfaction that you did it. I have always really liked that color blue its like the blue that Chevrolet made popular in the late sixties early seventies.Real popular on the muscle cars of that time.
