I used an SEM product and colored matched my running boards and fender beading to match the paint. I think it turned out killer, and I like that it has a satin finish, so it doesn't look like I just painted it when I painted the car.







I also used it on the pinch welt around the pop outs




and the running boards....




Installed my NOS trip speedo

Those of you reading this might want to go back a page I plan on slamming a lot of pictures and I already filled the last page.

Got some chrome goodies back from the chrome shop.

I got my fast fab gauge holder installed. I wasn't impressed with the size of the trim compared to the original.






So I thought long and hard what to do about it. It is not even close to matching. When you take them off it has two holes for the mounting screw. I really didn't want to fill the holes and repaint so I decided to take them off and run the LED for my line lock and shift light in the holes. I was going to put them in the grill behind the mesh so that they wouldn't be seen. I can live with it. I like the lights sticking out way better than the trim.




I got my wing windows installed as well as the windshield. I would have installed the back window as well, but it has way to many scratches. I thought I could fix them so I ordered a scratch repair kit from Eastwood. It didn't work, in fact I made it worse.




I also color matched my headlight buckets


wiper motor is done. 12 volt armature and removed all the old grease from the gears and repacked it.



I installed the main wire harness, so I will be working on that and building the doors the rest of this week.That pretty much brings things up to date.

Wow, nice work Ethan!

Wow... lots of work to dial in that paint issue. Glad to see you made the effort to make it right. I don't think I would've had the perseverance to do that

I love the fender beading. The dash lights look great, too.

Glad to see this one moving forward. Gonna be a show-stopper

I'm really excited to see this car come together!!

That looks great Ethan

Wow Ethan, looks amazing!

Nice to see some progress.. that Trip Speedo is pure awesomeness!

I got a few more things done today.
All that is left on the doors is the vapor barrier and Thanks to Jeremy and Jason I got some time in the booth.








Engine bay tin painted












We also got some of the accent color sprayed. This color was matched to my door panels and seat covers. We actually sprayed Flat Clear but in these pictures it is right after the last coat so they seem a little glossy but that will die down. I will try and get better pictures tomorrow.
