Sorry for the late response. I didn't get any notifications of new posts in quite a while. I went with SPI clear and they recommended a paint company but all I can read on the can now that there is paint all over it is Pro Spray. Pretty spendy stuff I will tell you that.
I just got most of it together today. Should be taking it for a drive next week if all goes well. Windshield will be in Monday.
For some reason to me these cars never look good in pictures but I sure like them in person.
How do you like the way the Grille turned out Bob?
The grille looks WAY BETTER, Mr. Smith!!! :3dSMILE::3dSMILE: Nice job!
That color looks really good on the car!
Is that your final wheel and tire selection?
Mr. Smith, I just noticed the late 60's T bird in the background. Is that yours too? I've always wondered what one of those would look like with big rims, etc. Wanna post of pic of it?
Just completing my 1948 International Truck project. 10 months labor and will be running the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour from Cocoa Beach, Fl to Detroit, Mi the first of June. Put 40 miles on it yesterday. 283 chevy engine, 700r4 trans, 88 camaro rear suspension and rear end. Have to upholster the interior yet and a few adjustments and we will be ready to go.

Nice project vehicle - the good ol' 'binders look great with some TLC. Congratulations on saving another old truck from becoming a part of a new foreign made econobox
fair enough..I have 19's on my '06 GTO and I think they are the biggest that looks good my car. As it is the 19's ride a bit rough I can only imagine what those 22's (?) feel like!
I like the truck Gary...more and more I think my next one will be a chopped and channeled pickup.
I have a fuel door I just haven't buffed it out yet. I still have quite a bit of polishing to do actually.Quote:
Looking good Mr. Smith! Is there a fuel door or is that an exposed cap resessed in?
thought I would throw in a better pic of my grille too. I think it may have looked better with semi gloss but it's too late now.
Not sure what I am going to do with the stainless hood side trim now. I think I may have to paint them black to go with the rest of the car.
How do you guys put text between your posted pics?
If the T Bird had different style of wheels I thing the 22's would look fine. But then my nephews came over and loved them. The car needs complete restoration.
Personally, I think "stainless" is kinda neutral and would be a nice accent between the red & black. You only have the trim pieces for the hood and the grill that are stainless, right?
I agree. These rims look a little too "gangsta" for me but the size kinda works on the car. 20's could work nicely too. The 4door with the suicide doors could make a cool cruizer if done right.
Bob does this car by chance have air bag suspension? The reason I ask is some years back my dad had one that he started to have work done too in Arizona and the bags were one thing that I can remember from pics he sent me. I believe it was in black primer when he traded it for 56 chev delivery wagon.
hope you can get past the bitterness of your 36. These things are enough work without something like that hanging over you every time you try working on them.
