My paint is finally finished and now the interior can go back in. I’m driving around with just the drivers seat for now.

Thank you. It’s a factory starlight black and red interior car. It’s a numbers matching Ho, 4 speed car so I’m pretty excited about it.

I know it sounds crazy but it really looks tough with those black steel wheels and no hubcaps.

Beautiful car, a set of restored HURST wheels would be a nice compliment as well. Nicely done.

I was thinking the same thing- looks tough as nails on the steel wheels. Paint looks fantastic- enjoy it!

I have a set of dog dis caps but they’re pretty rough. I’m thinking I might leave them off for now. The wheels are black and clear coated. I wish I had bought redlines though.

Arlington plant. Somewhat unusual for a California car since Fremont is just a few miles away

It was actually sold new with a white vinyl top. I chose to stay with a black top.

Wow.. that's a wild combination.. I'd love to see it, but like you, I'm not sure that I would have had the nerve to try it.

Looking beyond excellent, Tony! Great call with the black top. The white one would have looked very awkward, IMO. You sure came a LONG way on this one!!!

Thank you.. I like the way it came out.

Tires are 225/70/14 I think. I’ll check tomorrow.
