He should have the body painted this week.

The GTO got the full dip yesterday and turned out perfect.
Glasurit at $ 850/gal was well worth it

Sweet!

Man, that is a beautiful paint job.

Those underneath the headlight pieces should be black.

So should the ribs in the scoop.

Paint looks great.

Headlights extensions are body color
Only 1 plant painted them black and it looks ridiculous
Hood insert will be painted black once it gets reassembled

Where are you on the electrical stage? Have you ordered your wiring yet?

[RedDirtRoad]

How you been Phil?
The car is still at my painters. He re hung the doors after he painted and next he will water sand and buff the whole car with the exception of the hood and fenders
They will go on next month once the paint is really cured and hard. All the edges will be taped up too do no chips or accidents occur.

I bought and installed a new engine wiring harness when I test fired my engine on the frame
I went through the whole instrument cluster wiring and looks good
I have a new tail light harness I will install once I begin re assembly
I will need a few accessory harnesses too like radio dial light, under dash light and trunk light
I really am itching to get the car back soon and begin to put back together
The first step I am dreading but needs to be done is the dash, wiring and all the A/C work
Thanks for checking in Phil

Looks great ! Are you keeping track of man hours.....yours are free....but the hours you have to pay for ? Wish my 67 had the headrests on the PHS...they look awesome !

I am already upside down on the car but I really enjoy restoring GTOs and know them pretty well by now since this is my fourth one.
Values on these cars have dropped due to the resto mod craze but I still enjoy doing it for the fun more then the money

My car is now home and having second thoughts about Tyrol Blue
My painter is coming over this weekend and we are painting it Corvette yellow

Just Kidding!
Taping up for sanding and final buffing

[tempest1964]

[Greg Reid]

First cut with 600 ?

[RedDirtRoad]

There is very little orange peel and no dirt whatsoever .
Most likely start off with 2000 grit.
