Any positive Results out there?
Side note: Funny that he bought this car from the family of a man who inherited from his grandmother and had passed away. He was in process of taking car apart and converting it into a GTO....It took a 25 year old enthusiast to want to "put it back into Bench Seat Tempest form. Funny, Many years ago the opposite would have been the norm. Of course he is putting a 65 dated 421 Tri-power 4 speed in the car now.
As l mentioned, I used SEM Color Coat (flexible paint) on my rear upper and lower seats over 10 years ago. Still looks great with no cracking or peeling. Prep is key....Prep is key.....Prep is key... In case it hasn't been mentioned enough times already.
