That seems like something I wouldn't want to do....take a lot more patience than I have.


Yeah I'll do it myself.

You just gotta go slow, an extra set of hands don't hurt any. You start in the middle & work your way out to the sides.

It would be easier to leave it off & weld up the trim strip holes but... I think I want it on there.





Remember the old spray on faux vinyl top that Westrrn Auto and J.C Whittney used to sell? laugh Looked a something like the truck bed coatings in use now days.

That color you have picked out has always been one of my favorites.
I remember drooling over a new 1966 Mustang fastback that was about that same color.

When I picked up the boat today the dude had a 3 car garage. One stall was the boat, one stall was a bright yellow Dodge Viper and that last stall was a 1969 Camero z/28 with the factory 302 on a engine stand. In it's place was a mean, ornrey, fire breathing 437 Chevy SB. It was on bad MoFo. He fired it up but it was too wet to take it for a spin.

That was on chevy I could get to like.

I'm likin' the whole thing. I'll have to e-mail my brother the link to this thread. He had a '69 with the 383 that he balanced and blue-printed, slap-stick Torqueflite, dual exhaust with turbo mufflers. Had issues with the Carter carb, found a Holey and we rebuilt it. Shifting manually, it'd catch rubber on the 1-2 upshift. If it were mine, I'd throw Bilstein shocks on it, maybe a pinion snubber for those jackrabbit starts, and a rear sway bar to tighten up the handling. Front disc brakes would help a lot. Set up for drag racing with the 6-cyl bars and 80/20s on the front works great at the drag strip but sucks for safe street rapid transit

Well, I'm guessing that he'd end up pushing the Chevy, eventually. laugh
