even more pinstripe details. For paint I used the same single stage 2K urethane I used to paint the nose stripe. I applied it with a pinstripe brush. It came out pretty good.

I took Tom's advice on an older post to use twice the recommended concentration. The parts came out great.

Dude you are killing it.. makes me wish I had the time to get at mine! NICE! BTW I boiled up my own phosphate about 11 years ago for my other Pacer and its still rocks solid ( zero rust ). I'm definitely doing my own phosphate next time as well

Hello All, progress is still being made on my Blue Topper. The rear end is in and its on all 4 wheels for the first time in years. I am waiting for the console to come in from the chrome platers so that I can start it for the first time.

Big Question: Should I put Pace Car decals on it? I know this is a touchy subject as the car is not one, but I am interested in what actual owners have to say on the matter.

QK rear end with a 06 15 date code. 1st day of 3rd week of June. has 3:55 gears inside.

How's that for a lucky find? It was a very expensive rear end. I got it from Bob Harris.
