Wow!!! Outstanding work!!!

Thanks to everybody for the nice comments. :D

The Judge is now sporting all it's original date-coded glass from front to back. We even saved the 1978 inspection sticker in the windshield because it's in perfect condition.

All the stainless trim is being polished before installation.

what did u use for the trunk splatter.....there have been so many opinions about what is correct, thanks

The spatter paint is the stuff sold through Ames. It's not an absolute perfect match to the original but it's as close as I have found.

rattle can or mix, pour, and paint?

That is the trunk splatter paint in the rattle can with DuPont clear over it.

The front fenders are now painted, polished and mounted on the car. Final adjustments and alignment won't be made until I get the hood mounted.

We also have the front and rear valances ready to go. Just a few details left to go!

Jason,

What a great job you are doing on that car. What are the chances of seeing that beauty in Saratoga Springs for the GTO nationals?

Thanks so much Napster!

This Judge is going to go up for auction as soon as it's finished because I just don't have the time to drag it all over the country to show it at all the big shows......... so if it is at the Nationals it will probably be with it's new owner. :D

The hood is mounted now, and all the Ram Air components are installed and working. All of the stainless trim is polished now and ready to install as well.

I also have the decals all done now since the fenders are locked down.

Jason if you ever sat down and explained your procedures and the paint products that you use, it would be an awsome resto guide!!
The car just keeps getting better.

Jason, if you'd drive that car around for about a month, we could turn you into an A body guy for sure.
I couldn't sell that car to save my life. Beautiful.

Well said Greg! I couldn't agree more - especially after putting that much time and effort into a project...I would have bonded with the car and couldn't turn loose of it.

Jason, this is going to be one interesting auction!

Jason, I know how you feel about driving your own work of art, so I'll be glad to do it instead...:beerchug::3gears::3gears:

Amazing work, my friend! Can't wait to see it all completed...:3gears::3gears::3gears:

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I really appreciate it. :)

As much as I would love to keep this car, I just don't have the time to show it like it should be shown and it's sale is going to help me expand my business. Hopefully it's new owner will be able to travel around the country and show it and have lots of fun with it.

This car spent so many years sitting in the barn.......it's great to see it come back to life again. It looks like it took a trip in a time machine back to January of 1970.

Check out the vintage Pennsylvania licence plate complete with 1978 registration sticker to match the inspection sticker in the windshield:

Love it!

Very nice Jason!
I don't remember seeing it mentioned but did any documentation come with the car: protecto plate etc?
