Not much going on at the moment. Still waiting for more panels to be painted. The bodyman had to get a car finished and delivered last week to free up the paint booth.

Here are some photos of the flares and scoop in primer. Hopefully some paint on these parts next week.

Lots of extra little bits and pieces to smooth and paint on a T/A!

Imagine, if you had a Formula you'd be done (and have more money still in your pocket...)

That made me laugh out loud - very funny

This has been a fun thread to follow - can't wait to see the end result. Car is looking awesome.

That's like the signs that say: "If you lived here you'd be home already!" :-)

Hey, if anyone has a nice 73 SD Formula, I'd be happy to trade!

A buddy over at the Yenko.net site, refinished the case for my alternator. I never liked the paint that the original rebuilder put on the case to make it look like metal and once I stripped it off, I wasn't too happy about the dark crusty appearance of the original pot metal either. This guy was kind enough to offer to run the case through his metal refinishing tumbler process and it came out awesome!

Here's the results after I got the case back today and reassembled everything. Looks just like it was hot off the assembly line. Even the original date/part number stampings look crisp and clean like they were just done 14,177 days ago. :-)










and back in place:

Steve, the alternator and engine compartment look stunning. What is the date of your alternator, it's not quite visible in the picture?

Are all '72 alternators are open face? I know by '73 they were closed face.

I believe they are these. This is a shot of an original wiring clip on my Grandmother's 75 Firebird:
