I was at @Careless's shop today giving him a hand with the windshield and vinyl trim, thought some of you guys might like to see the progress.

I love all the notes and parts hung where they go! I should do that...

Incredible. It looks like new - maybe better! What's the VIN on this car?

Wow, that is a beautiful restoration with zero corners cut.

feelin' the love, you guyssssssssss <3

that's about 100-150 pieces of the latest round of plated parts. some are just broken bolts and whatnot that i tossed in the batch so that I can keep around for samples or decoration, since it didn't add to cost. there are about 1000 more pieces in clear zinc and yellow as well at my home that I've sorted through.

wiring is after the windshield and various other glass pieces, then dashboard, etc.

Thanks. its #1606.

On the harder to find items, I've attempted to use the closest materials and even include manufacturing variances and errors that were present on the car when it was being disassembled and documented (by someone else)

I have about 2000 photos of various stages of progress that I will be posting in the other thread since my last update, but Chris sneaked these photos in today while we were making some headway on the headliner surround pieces. not the most fun to do on your own, glad he was around!

I can tell you it is pretty awe inspiring to stand next to this car, there isn't a square centimeter anywhere that doesn't have the same kind of detail. Gold Medallion judges better sharpen their pencils if this car ever enters the competition.

I'm back at Careless's shop on Monday, I'll poke the camera into some hidden places and see if I can find a flaw.

Okay, I don't want t steal anymore of Raff's thunder so I'll just post these few and then you'll have to wait for him to update his thread.
