Looking great!
Just a tip you probably already know, put the headliner in before the glass. Much easier. Charles |

Seeing as how I just got done with mine, it is easier gluing the front and rear without the windows in, BUT I got it done anyhow. Phew.
I know you are doing concours, so don't hit me too hard for the mirror and dome light, OK? If you need tips on the headliner install, let me know, I researched till I was blue in the face. Remember, original bows in original locations and CLEAN so they will slide side to side, stretch front to back first in center then go side to side. Charles P.S. Camera lens needs cleaning.

That's going to be one sharp car but it would look better with different wheels and tires. LOL.

Anodizing
I am looking for someone that does bright dipped anodizing.
I need to get the wire mesh grilles dipped. Any suggestions on who might be able to do this? I have new NOS plastic grille surrounds and turn single housings and lenses. I want to do it right and have the grilles refinished too. |

Grilles and header
I got my grilles back today from the anodizing shop.
They turned out great. I assembled the front header panel with the refinished grilles and recrhomed eyebrow mouldings, correct turn signal bulbs, NOS housings and lenses, bezels and emblem too. I even lit up the lights to give myself a thrill! |

Thanks for all the comments.
I had the grilles done locally at an industrial metal plating company. They dont do any automotive or hobby work. They specialize in military spec work. They did this for me only because a machine shop I do work for referred me to them. If I tell you how much I paid you really will be jealous! |

Grills look great RD. When you get everything together, change the wire in the switch so your parking lights are on with your headlights.
 Not concours correct but it will look great, and safer at night too.

Dominic, the red reflection in your paint looks awesome. At first I thought the car was painted that way. Sure would be a killer paint job if it was. Don't take it the wrong way tho, the paint job looks great.... even without the reflection.

You are doing one heck of a job, RDR.
Me thinks you have placed the grill emblem a wee bit too low. Here is a shot of mine I just reassembled. Charles |

Thanks for the heads up Charles,
There are triangles on the back of my grill emblem thay kinda lock into the grille pattern. might be able to raise it up to another row of grille. Just got back from Englishtown last week with a box of goodies. I will be posting more pics soon as my restoration progresses. |

Are the A/C parts NOS?
Oh yeah, the car is awesome. You are putting me and my "shade tree" restoration to shame!

Phil,
The parts are aftermarket. I try to always buy NOS parts but with A/C parts its better to have new and clean parts and there arent many NOS A/C parts out there. The filter/drier however is brand new in the box NOS. I read your Sunday weekly thread too and your restoration s going to be very nice as well..good luck -Dominic |
