Here we go again! Wet sanding the clear so deck lid, hood and bumper all come off again. Mike and I got the quarters, deck lid, hood and both doors done yesterday and today.
Going to spray the final coats of clear in a booth with a bake cycle at Walkers place of employment.

Been making more slow progress. Car was shot in clear for the final time and Walker is scheduled to Polish in two weeks.
 Found an upholstery guy and am pretty excited as he comes highly recommend from a high end Porsche shop I've done some work for. Ordered a ton of stuff from Ames today including a bunch of interior stuff. Tom, the upholstery guy, is going to order the headliner material, carpet and vinyl top. The gold samples I got from Ames for the headliner was not gold but a buff and Tom had a carpet sample color that I liked a lot better as well.

This car originally had idiot lights and no tach. I want to run rally gauges and an in dash tach. I had a few sets of rally gauges around and a very nice tach. I sent them to Pete Serio of Precision Pontiac to restore. He took the best of what I had plus some excellent parts he had and made me an awesome set.
Pete set the milage to the actual milage from my grandma's car. Pete also matched the sensors to the gauges so they will read accurately. Also modified tach to work with my MSD dizzy. I've had Pete do work for me in the past and as always his stuff is top notch, thanks Pete!

I am one of those few lucky ones who actually have known Greg and his family (including Nana) since we were kids. Although I never rode in the 69, I did spend quite a few crazy nights in Greg's 66 while home on leave from the Navy! I have known this great family most of my life and to say they are my second family is so true. Seeing the family pics brings back many memories from my youth! Nana's 69 is looking beautiful brother! She would be proud of the tedious and non stop commitment you have given to her beloved GOAT. I still have the "Little GTO" book you sent me in the Navy back in 86! I caught the GTO bug and always have wanted one! As you know I bought a matching numbers 67 about 6 years ago and that is a truelly friggin saaaad story. But that's another story. Looking good BRO! Your bro Chief.

So the car is finally supposed to be polished this Sunday. Walker was sick the last scheduled time and the I was out if town for a bit. This coming Wednesday I have a guy installing the door and quarter glass so I have been rounding up the windows, regulators and related parts. I took the nasty dirty greasy parts and soda blasted them, it works so damn slick! Here are the door weather strip channel pieces before and after soda blasting then before and after I ran them thru the buffer.

Very nice photo .... needs to be in a magazine or book somewhere. Captures the elusive beauty of a 68 GTO better than probably any pic I've seen.

What methods are you using to refresh the window regulator and door hardware? They look like new.
