finally, a reward for all the hard work......
man, I don't want to do this anymore. Next time I think I'll pay someone to paint and buff a car.  I'm getting to old for this.  The final color-sand & buff this weekend.

Show off!
 Nice job, Larry. I always liked the white birds w/ the blue accents better. But that's one's extremely nice in blue.

Larry, What paint did you use to paint those taillight bezels, got an extra set and I like the way the 78 Bezels look.

Awesome paint job, reflection, depth, etc. But is it the correct color for a 78 ? 78 TA's & Formula,s was called Martinique Blue, a one year only color. Lucerne Blue was for 70-72. Both colors look very close to each other.

Almost forgot, my 78' TA (Martinique Blue) came with the tail light bezels painted the same as the body...blue.

I could have gone M-Blue, but I just wanted to paint the car in Lucy blue.....its just a preference I guess.
Also, I believe that ALL the '78 models had black tail bezels, a prelude to the "blackout" taillenses of '79. The '77 bezels were exterior body color. Did you buy your '78 new?
