Oh my Lord! she's a honey Phil... Gotta see more but those door gaps look SWEEEEET!
Oh and the Goodyears make me wanna cry... gorgeous brother congrats

Phil,

What color is she? Enamel or lacquer?


Mike

Phil,

She is looking really fine!!! Is that PPG BC/CC? Will it be at Carlilse 2010?

Steve E

Ermine White in PPG. 4 coats color, 3 coats clear.

I guess I am a clear coat myth supporter after all....

GM Nats? Dont know just yet I am hoping. Will see.

Now I get to put it all back together. That's the FUN part!

I love photos like this. Very nice!

Same guy that Painted My '70 Z-28 painted this car. He has been painting cars since 1972. when he was finished he told me that "we used to get single stage paint jobs to look this good too- problem was that they would all fade"

Here is the side view in the sun high reflection and bright white.

BTW...I hate digital camera's - there is a patch of buffing compound in the door that I missed.

Same car on a cloudy day. Looks like a different color all together

Looks super Phil! Now I am once again jealous. I guess I would have to actually put my hands on my car for it to look like that. Gaps and paint are really nice! Super job Phil! Oh and by the way nice place and neighborhood. Let me know when you want to adopt me.

Stop it Gary! You would miss the daily snow removal!!!! Gotta love upstate NY !

Phil, car looks wonderful. Did you use the color info you sent to me for my car (on yours)?
Nice to see your car at this stage. All your work is top notch. Keep us updated on progress.

David,

Sure did! Same color exactly.

Gary Cannot adopt you -we are already Pace car brothers.

Really nice looking paint on a straight car. It's all in the prep work!

Thanks Pat-

You were a very important part in getting the details right.

Car looks great. Looking forward to the finished product.

Mike,

Without you over the years, the 1967 people would still be sweating LOTS of details.

I know I would.

Just today I picked up one of your old USCC technical articles for a look. Priceless.

Thanks! I had so much more than that article touched on. I wish that it would have been color too.

Keep up the good work!

You are kidding right??

Ok what do we need to do to crack the safe and get the rest of the info??

Dude - you should really consider writing a book.

Texture on the dash is finished.

I put the dash pad on to have a look

BTW...Steering column is another unit that I am using for now to do the dirty work...

Phil - one word: SWEET!

Looks really great! Seems like the Norwood plant has moved only a few miles away to Chillicothe Ohio...

Hey Phil,
I like the texture. Is that the correct color code for the dash? Charlie's dash seems darker. It almost matches the dash pad.

Tom,

Sharp eye!!

I see what you are talking about... Angles and sunlight play havoc with paint shade appearance. Add to that the difference with 35MM vs Digital and you have yet another variable.

When I took the picture of the dash on my car it was only about 20 minutes after paint completion and one of the cautions that I got from the guy who mixed the paint up was that the inital "as sprayed" color would change slightly when dry.

Here is a different view of #92 where the dash looks lighter. This photo was likely taken in the sunlight.

I'll admit it looks a little light compared to mine but your right about the vaiables etc.. the fact that you've got the textures and its a different color than the dash face is WAY past most guys resto techniques so I would say to leave it so you don't risk making a mess trying to tweak it.. Once the windhields in and you have to look through that to see it as well it will be different still again...

Your call

Your doing great work keep whacking away
