Easy. Take a picture from ten feet away, looking at the front of the car! I know you have seen my car, so believe me, yours is still a pipe dream to me! If yours is a "ten footer," mine is a "sixty footer," lol!!!

Besides, don't be so hard on yourself... Andy is a beauty now!

Thanks,
these pics are about 4-6 feet. I want to get to Kelowna,,,,,Im sure Ted will take a ton of pics.
Last year I drove to a drops meeting and he took a pic of my hose clamped wiper pivots,,,, that guy is tough!
been quite a journey. Honestly, Ill probably polish the paint over the winter. maybe get some chrome done too.

You can't paint a car and only post 2 pics!!!

Need more pics!!!!

Looks great by the way- even 18 inches from my laptop!

Wow! Great colour! Looks beautiful! Can't wait to check it out in Kelowna. Met Ted in Solvang. He seems like a great guy. I am sure Kelowna will be a blast!

Im hoping to get the lights sorted and get the bonnets on this weekend. roll it outside if its nice. polish a few spots. Canby for sure.

Sports Imports is sending a few critical pieces ,,,,, Thanks Ross.

FAIL Good stuff

Looks great, what was the fail, the fit of the headlight chrome, causing the mar?

Isn't there some rope-like weatherstripping for the headlight buckets? Might help protect.
Paint looks great.

Looks freakin beautiful to me man! I would like to hear about this gasket Linda mentioned.

Yes. the ring is on now and covers the blemish. Im sure there will be more in the coming years.
This fender had OG paint on it and there was an identical blemish in the lead. I sanded the lead til the blemish was gone, fit the ring, so I thought, obviously not enough.

Andys left ring had a weatherstrip of sorts. Previous "bodyman" packed the backside of the scoop with bondo and pressed it on. I spent a good hour or more chipping it out.

yowza!
