While that is going on, I now need to get the seats off for a recover. the fabric on the left is what came on it from the previous owner. A recover of the center panel. Definably not factory original, so I am going back to one of the optional factory plaids. For'75 one of the colors that would have originally been on the car is Matisse Blue #80.

Stopped by Ron's today to see how he is doing and to do a primer check before heading off to the paint booth in about a week or two. Getting closer and closer to a new 2-stage painting of Ancona Blue. He is doing a great job. Almost all of the little imperfection are gone on the exterior of the body. I should hopefully have it back in my garage in about 6 weeks, were it will sit until I reinstall the interior. Time to get my butt in gear.
Here are some more shots of the car now that is has been wet sanded with 500 grit.
Still some more work to be done in spots like the rear tail light and then on to the trunks and engine compartment.

Great time to back date those bumpers and lose the warts........ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)


The bumbers are staying, as they are in perfect shape. Besides, it is a '75 and I dont have those extra warts on the bumbers.



As far as removing the side warts, I am not sure. I already have had the LED turn signals from Spoke and they work great.


Those late bumpers look clean bro.

Wanna sell them? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

It is finally getting closer. A couple weeks from now it will be back, getting the engine back in and working on the interior.

What is a amazing is how the color changes in the photo. The engine compartment is the same color as the rear trunk lid. I know because I have seen it.

looks great!! beautiful color. Just went thru this so all I can say is take your time on the reassembly, it does take longer than you think it will, especially when you startd looking at your other old trim parts along side the new paint, and decide you will replace a lot of it( well that's what happened to me) . anyway looks like he did a great job! Don't forget to clean all the ground points good, I had issue with my fuel pump firing due to not making sure that ground was good before I put the tank back in lol! I think other than the new door seals, the triangle glass was a real challenge to put back in - but otherwise the thing that was the hardest was getting the sail panel vinyl in properly. there is a nice write up here on world by a member that did a step by step that was helpful.

keep posting pics,

Phil
