Also I thought the electrical and washer hose were strategically placed. Made me wonder if the rivets were questionable.

I just did a quick browse through my "unrestored" car files, and the only car out of about 20 or so that has the silver paint is Skip Lacates 69Z dated late 09C, and even his just shows a minimal amount of the silver.

$12 a can? ouch. I think I paid ACE hardware about 5-6 a can, but I bought a case (6).

now I see. You have a decent amount of the original sound deadener still there. I was not so lucky. 🙂

Carpet is always a game changer with a restoration. it covers so much area and it always make me feel like I have turned a corner. The car is looking good.
Are you going to use a sound deadener under the carpet? I used torch down for my last one, for the price it worked well and has a somewhat factory look and consistency.

I hope they catch those guys. I thought the car was worth 14k, not way more. Good luck Howard

Cross Boss, anybody can go to HD Lowes and Walmart and find silver paint, but none of them stock the Krylon 1403. I ordered a case of it from my local mom and pop ACE store. Other then that, it is hard to just run across.

But, that is if you changed your mind about it being on the column.
On a separate note, for getting deeper scratches out of glass, have you ever wet sanded them with a really fine grit of sand paper? I was going to try this, but I was curious if anyone had success doing so.

Here was my solution since I liked the Yenko placement but did not want to drill or mount it to the dash:

Sauron Concerning original appearance and techniques, would you advise spraying it out of a gun over an aerosol can to get more of the same type of finish they originally had?

exactly.
I will say it is another outlet to see cars that I wouldn't see on other platforms. Somehow owners like to post there and ask questions of other people who don't know, then to find a real source of information. A couple of us moderate some Camaro groups, just to cut down on the misinformation that runs rampant. it is what it is...

Full of it. CRG will shoot you straight. FB who knows. Some groups have members from the CRG, but FB in general is a crap shoot.

I know little modifications were made to JohnZ's car with the emblems and all, I wonder if those were changed. March would by far be the latest I have seen. Most of the original December January cars I have seen don't seem to have them. But again they could have been swapped for some reason.
