datzenmike Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Not much to update on my '74. It's set aside when bigger jobs show up and worked on in the spare time. I took up two hood for the body guy Terry to choose from. The old one will be too much work to weld up and he really like one of the ones I brought down. After... Before... After... Before... After..

polski ogorki Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 This thing in color yet Mike? Less talk more sanding! I'd say less beer but I know that wont happen lol did you get those rims cleaned and painted yet? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Damn the weather just got nice!.... I'll clean the ones you gave me and see. Right now I'm working on the struts for the goon. Almost done. When they are on the car I can mount those rims. Nothing like that to inspire me. I was told the '74 car would be primed soon but the Corvette needs to be finished first.

INDY510 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 . Where did you find the front windshield weatherstripping???? ... .. those pics look scary .... :( ..... .. I have a few small rust bubbles around the windsheild ..... .. how bad did it look before you pulled the windshields???? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 It looked ok but the water could get behind the chrome trim above the glass and sealer and rotted a hole there. I tried covering different parts of the windshield with a garbage bag and narrowed it down but couldn't see anything. I ran a bead of black urethane around the edge but, no go. I guess if you were to pull the trim you can see in there and seal it up. Welding it and sealing it proper is best. The windshield is actually 'glued in' place. There is no rubber seal or weather strip. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Painter called to say he mixed up the colors and sprayed the '74 with the wrong one. Left over paint from another job went back in a can marked Black Cherry and.... this is the result. Well my first thought was it was a bit light but the paint job is great. Mrs. d immediately dug her feet in and said i don't like it. So it will be repainted with the correct Chrysler Black Cherry. . Quote Link to comment
Guest 510kamikazifreak Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Looks good Mike... I think the metalic(pretty heavy for a fine) is taking away from the darkness of the colour Mike. On a less sunny day or in the evening it will change alot Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I think he called it pearl? but yeah it sure reflects. It's not what the boss ordered and it was just a mistake. Terry (our painter) was probably hoping she might like it. All I said was that it was a nice job. She heard 'I like the color'. It's no big deal and it will be finished before next weekend. That close up is blurry and exaggerates the metallic. It's finer than that. Quote Link to comment
Guest 510kamikazifreak Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Is it a factory pearl colour? Pearl does amazing things in different lighting. I would take mrs d back and show her in a less than bright sunlight. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I am liking that colour very much, it would be cool to have the colour code for that purple Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 This paint was left over from another job. It was a Jeep but the color is Chrysler also. The pearl may have been added or stock? I don't know. Looking forward to a darker color. My wife said she wouldn't put that color on her nails. Quote Link to comment
